Dental Coverage

As a Blue Cross Community Health Plans (BCCHP) member, you receive dental coverage. BCCHP works with DentaQuest* to provide you with dental care. Visit the DentaQuest site to choose an in-network dentist.

What Services Are Covered?^†

You do not need approval from your PCP for dental care. Some dental care requires prior approval before getting treatment. Without approval for those services, you may have to pay.
