In case you missed it, the SC Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) is implementing an Adult Preventative Dental benefit effective December 1, 2014. Covered services include diagnostics, extractions, fillings and an annual cleaning, up to a maximum of $750 per state fiscal year (July 1 to June 30).

DentaQuest will process claims for the adult benefit as they do for the children's benefit. It is important to know that no dentist needs to change their current practice patterns due to this new benefit, but the SCDA does encourage everyone to take part in this new program if it fits into their practice.
