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.

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.
