Medicaid or private insurance at DICC

We accept both at all three offices. Here is how each one works at DICC, so you know what to expect before your first visit.

Short answer

Medicaid: we accept Health First Colorado and DentaQuest at all three offices. Preventive and emergency care are covered; some treatments need prior approval, which we request for you. Dentures are covered for many adults, with limits; implants are not always covered.

Private insurance: we accept most dental plans, including Delta Dental, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, MetLife, Guardian and Humana. Call any office to check whether we are in-network with your policy.

Either way, we check your benefits before treatment so you know what is covered, and financing from 3 months to 10 years (subject to approval) can help with the rest.
