Introducing the Delta Dental Medicaid Network

The state of Washington recently released a request for proposal and will contract with at least two carriers to administer the state's Apple Health Dental program. Their goal is simple: improve care delivery for Washingtonians Medicaid population.

Nearly 2 million Washingtonians have Medicaid. The growing Apple Health population includes low-wage workers, young adults getting an education and low-income families. For many people, Apple Health is a temporary benefit as they work their way into higher paying jobs, where they’ll obtain private insurance. And once they do, these patients are likely to remain with your practice. That’s why we’re answering the state’s request for proposal.

With over 60 years of experience improving oral health in Washington, Delta Dental of Washington has partnered with Arcora Foundation and Delta Dental of California to create a new Delta Dental Medicaid Network. As a team, we are dedicated to improving service for Apple Health Dental to support a better patient and provider experience.

We invite you to join our Delta Dental Medicaid Network. Working together, we will improve Apple Health Dental.

Benefits of joining our Delta Dental Medicaid network include:

  • No additional credentialing requirements for Delta Dental of Washington member dentists. Once you complete the contract, there are no additional steps required to join the network. 
  • Washingtonians serving Washingtonians. As members of the Washington state community, we are committed to improving oral health for everyone who lives in our state.
  • Arcora Foundation has been advocating for oral health in Washington for more than 15 years. We've invested millions of dollars and countless hours, to raise awareness of the importance of oral health and expand access to care. Arcora Foundation advocates for higher Medicaid reimbursement rates through unwavering support of the Access to Baby and Child Dentistry (ABCD) and Oral Health Connections, programs which provide higher reimbursement rates to providers who are trained and treat select Medicaid populations.
  • We're committed to a simpler, faster Medicaid. Delta Dental of California has years of experience administering Medicaid plans. Covering more than 13 million lives in 3 states, they are experts in Medicaid administration, making it simple and quick to find out what’s covered and to receive payment.
