Which Iowa dental plan can you use in Cedar Rapids?

Dental Wellness Plan members use either Delta Dental or DentaQuest. Each plan has dentists who agree to bill it. Give the office your dental plan name when you call, even if you've used Medicaid there before.

The adult Dental Wellness Plan starts at 19, while its annual spending limit applies from 21. Dental Wellness Plan Kids covers ages 0-18. Those age rules matter when a teenager becomes an adult: the card, dentist network and treatment plan need to agree.

For a checkup or a larger repair, the Cedar Rapids dentist comparison starts with the work you need. A high rating can help narrow choices. Your plan's network tells you which dentists can bill it.

What can you still get after the $1,000 dental benefit?

Iowa keeps covered exams, X-rays and cleanings outside the adult annual limit. The state also leaves out the cost of making dentures and emergency care that meets its rules. You can still use these benefits after you've reached the limit for other work.

A root canal can involve work inside the tooth and a later crown. Iowa covers root canals on adult front and back teeth under its treatment rules. The office can check approval and the money left in your benefit before work begins.
