Providers News and Updates
The Department of Social Services (DSS) would like to highlight an important enrollment requirement for all providers. Providers are REQUIRED to notify DSS Enrollment and Quality Assurance (QA) of all ownership
changes and updates.
Two upcoming courses on HPV cancer prevention and vaccination have been developed for dentists and hygienists: The first course is a free online course developed by the American Cancer Society and its partners, which is a self-guided module to earn up to 4 hours of CE. Sign up for the course here. The second course is an in-person 3-hour course at Boston University School of Dental Medicine taking place Wednesday, 4/30 from 9am-12pm. The course will be presented by Dr. Rosie Wagner. You can learn more about the course and register here.
The grid, updated on 4/1/25, includes changes to the X-Ray-Periapical section and Interim Caries Arresting Medicament section. Some spelling/punctuation corrections were also made. Click here to see the updated Dental Coverage Grid.
A patient’s medical history is an important foundation for a dentist’s diagnosis, treatment planning and prevention of potential complications. This tool is ideal to see if your adult patient does not need a PA for a second annual cleaning.
And by being able to access HUSKY Health and Covered CT member medical histories, you can assess certain medical conditions that might influence the treatment decisions or impact post-operative care.
Good News for You. Good News for Your Patients.
