A valid official form can still be wrong for a different member group or date of service. Match the document to Health First Colorado, CAC, CHP+, or another program.

01

Documents, destinations, and policy changes are separate

This page points to original benefit summaries, notices, disclosures, appeal materials, and handbooks. It does not replace the broader resource directory, and it does not treat every revised PDF as a material policy change without comparing the effective language.

02

Current dental benefit summaries and notices

The adult and child summaries explain covered categories, common frequencies, authorization, exclusions, and member contacts. The current adult summary includes the $3,000 July–June limit and its emergency-treatment and removable-denture exceptions. Choose the summary for your member group, then confirm your personal benefits with DentaQuest.

Member portals, directories, and handbooks

Use the member portal for individual tools such as benefit information and Dental Home details. Use the dentist finder to identify possible offices, then call the location you would like to visit to discuss network participation, the service needed, patient age, and appointments. The handbook explains broader rights, responsibilities, appeals, contacts, and program processes.

04

Cost disclosure, appeals, and decision help

A participating dental provider uses the non-covered-service disclosure before a member agrees to pay for truly non-covered care. It is not a blanket waiver for covered services. For a denial or other adverse decision, use the appeal directions and deadline in the member's own notice, supported by current DentaQuest and HCPF guidance.

Language, disability, and accessible-format resources

Health First Colorado offers free language assistance and auxiliary aids. Ask for an interpreter or accessible document through the official program contact, and ask the dental office what it can arrange for the appointment. Do not rely on a machine translation for a consent, denial, or appeal deadline when official language help is available.
