About the HCBS Dental Services Webpage

HCBS dental services are provided in addition to the basic dental benefits all Health First Colorado members 21 or older receive.

The HCBS Dental Services page provides information about covered services, limitations, DentaQuest (the Department's contracted partner in this area), and dental providers, including how to find a dentist or get additional information.

Myths and Facts About Changes to Case Management

Major changes to a system can mean major confusion. Let’s help put some of the rumors to rest! This Learning Collaborative will help anyone interested in sorting through facts vs. fiction about changes to case management as a result of the Colorado Case Management Redesign work.

This meeting is open to the public and will be most helpful for individuals and their families who are being served by a Case Management Agency today, as well as individual case managers and providers seeking to understand this important reform.

Meeting information will be posted on the Department’s Case Management Redesign webpage. Please share the meeting flyer with your organizations and networks.
