Transition of care

If you're a new member and received covered Healthy Kids Dental services from another dental plan or the State of Michigan, we can help you continue your care. We'll make sure you can continue to receive services from network and out of network dentists. To see if your dentist is in our network:

  • Call 1-800-936-0935. TTY users call 711
  • Select Find a Dentist within the member website

If your dentist is not in our network, we'll help you find a new dentist that's right for your family. We'll also honor any prior authorizations approved by your last dental plan or the State of Michigan for covered Healthy Kids Dental services for the first 90 days after you have joined our plan.

We'll also cover services if you lose Medicaid or CHIP eligibility while enrolled in our plan. We'll cover the care as long as it is given within 60 days from the date eligibility was lost.

Grievances and Appeals

If you decide to have someone represent you or act for you at any time during the grievance or appeal process, you can either:

  1. Send us a letter informing us that you want someone else to represent you and include in the letter their contact information or, 
  2. Fill out the Designation of Authorized Representative for Appeal Form (PDF) and send it to us.

Care coordination

If you have any chronic medical or dental condition, special needs or need help with care coordination, call 1-800-936-0935 (TTY: 711).

Transportation benefits

We understand there may be times when you need a ride to your dental services or procedures. Healthy Kids Dental can help you get there. Find out who to call based on where you live.
