Not published by the payer

Dental Network of America administers dental benefits, primarily for state Medicaid and CHIP programs, so participation is per state contract. Apply through its provider enrollment channel for your state.

The stall to avoid: State Medicaid dental routes through a specific administrator per state. Confirm which company holds your state's dental contract before applying, and remember an active state Medicaid ID typically comes first.

From PayerReady's payer enrollment research, built from the payer's own provider manuals and enrollment pages. Payer processes change; when a fact is not published by the payer, we say so rather than guess.

Alaska-Specific Requirements

Dental Network of America: PPO and managed dental networks (affiliated with HCSC/BCBS). DNoA network extends to this state through national PPO and self-funded employer dental plan arrangements. Apply via DNoA provider portal or through affiliated BCBS plan. Uses CAQH ProView. Processing typically 30-60 days. State licensing: Alaska Board of Dental Examiners issues DDS/DMD licenses. Dental hygienists (RDH) may credential separately. State note: Teledentistry permitted. Accepts ADEX, CDCA, or WREB clinical exam. Subsidiary of Health Care Service Corporation (HCSC), which operates BCBS plans in IL, MT, NM, OK, and TX. DNoA network extends nationally and is used by many self-funded employer dental plans. Network participation may overlap with BCBS dental benefits in HCSC states.
