Dental benefits provider DentaQuest has received dental managed care contracts from the California Department of Health Care Services.
Starting in July 2025, Medi-Cal beneficiaries in Sacramento and Los Angeles counties will have access to three dental managed care plans, according to an Oct. 30 news release.
DentaQuest will serve a portion of beneficiaries through its own plan and will also act as the third-party administrator for another DMC plan in the program.
There are currently about 1 million Medi-Cal beneficiaries in the two counties who are enrolled in DMC plans.
DentaQuest is part of Sun Life U.S., which is the nation's largest administrator of dental benefits for Medicaid by membership, the release said.
