The Colorado Dental Health Care Program for Low-Income Seniors (Senior Dental

Program) grants funds to agencies to provide low-cost dental care to low-income

seniors, age 60 and over, who are not enrolled in Health First Colorado (Colorado's

Medicaid program) and do not have private dental insurance. Grantees determine if a

senior qualifies to receive services under the program.

The next Dental Advisory Committee (DAC) meeting will be held April 15, 2025, from 2:00 to 4:00 pm. There will be an update on the Senior Dental Program procedure code guidelines as well as a continued discussion on requests received for the DAC to recommend adding the following procedures:

D2940 - Protective Restoration

D2991 - Application of Hydroxyapatite Regeneration Medicament

D5410 - Adjust complete denture – Maxillary

D5411 - Adjust complete denture – Mandibular

D5421 - Adjust partial denture – Maxillary

D5422 - Adjust partial denture – Mandibular

D9410 - House/Extended Care Facility Call

If any stakeholders would like to have a question added to the public comment, they may contact HCPF. Please include the question and background information on why it needs to be discussed.

Some Medicare Advantage Plans have reduced dental services for 2025. We look for more procedures to be billed to HCPF starting this month and urge all grantees to keep track of their allocated grant totals to ensure they do not overspend. If there are any questions or concerns you may contact HCPF for assistance.
