The Arkansas Department of Human Services (DHS) has ended its Medicaid managed care dental program and returned beneficiaries who qualify for dental coverage to the Medicaid fee-for-service program.  

This means you will now use your Medicaid ID when you go to the dentist, not an MCNA or Delta Dental card, and your dentist will bill Medicaid directly.  

While the system is changing, Medicaid will still cover services such as oral evaluations, x-rays, topical fluoride, sealants, crowns, and orthodontic care such as braces. 

If you need assistance finding a dentist, call the ConnectCare help line at 1-800-275-1131 (TDD 1-800-285-1131) or visit humanservices.arkansas.gov/u/dentist.
