Child Health Plan Plus is Transitioning to DentaQuest
June is the last month in which Delta Dental of Colorado will be administering the dental benefits for the Child Health Plan
Plus (CHP+) program. As we recently communicated, Delta Dental of Colorado did not bid on a new contract for the combined administration of dental benefits for the CHP+ and Medicaid programs.
Our current contract will expire on June 30, 2019, and DentaQuest will be taking over as the dental administrator for the CHP+ program.
You will need to contract with DentaQuest in order to continue servicing CHP+ subscribers and submit claims related to CHP+ and/or Medicaid to them as of July 1, 2019. You can visit their website at
dentaquest.com/dentists/ or contact the provider relations representative for your area for information on contracting and more. In addition, providers are still required to revalidate with the State of Colorado at
colorado.gov/hcpf/provider-enrollment.

discontinuing the Delta Dental of Colorado Fund for groups 8883 (CHP+) and 8884 (DDCO subscribers at a certain percentage of the federal poverty level). The DDCO fund will be closed as of July 1, 2019, and any associated treatment must be completed by June 30, 2019. If you have questions regarding the fund, please contact our network provider management team at 303-889-8677 or
