Resources for Denti-Cal Adult Dental Benefit Restoration

As of January 1, 2018, the Department of Health Care Services has restored all optional adult dental benefits that had been eliminated in 2009.  DHCS issued an All Plan Letter to dental managed care plans with a benefits quick reference guide to describe the restored procedures.  DHCS Dental APL 17-009 (November 27, 2017).

California Pan-Ethnic Health Network, Justice in Aging, and Asian Americans Advancing Justice developed a pamphlet in English and Spanish to describe the change in benefits.  https://cpehn.org/blog/201801/what-you-need-know-restored-dental-benefits-adults-california.

Western Center on Law and Poverty also created a one-page flyer about the changes: https://wclp.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Full-Restoration-of-Adult-Dental-Benefits-1pager-1.pdf
