Maryland Dental Action Coalition (MDAC)- Dental coverage For Maryland Medicaid Recipients

The mission of the Maryland Dental Action Coalition is to develop and maintain a statewide partnership of individuals and organizations committed to improving the health of all Marylanders through increased oral health promotion, disease prevention, education, advocacy and access to oral health care. 

It was the tragic story in 2007 of 12-year-old Deamonte Driver — a boy who died from an untreated tooth infection that spread lethal bacteria to his brain — that first compelled advocates in Maryland to take up the fight to expand dental coverage and facilitate access to dental care to low-income children. 

And now, after MDAC's successful multi-year strategic campaign, approximately 800,000 Maryland Medicaid adult beneficiaries have comprehensive dental coverage, effective January 1, 2023. This is a major victory for Maryland and the many low-income adults and people with disabilities who rely on Medicaid for critical health care services, estimated at 1 out of every 5 Marylanders

In recognition of the important role care coordinators play in linking patients to needed dental services and providing oral health education to help prevent dental disease, MDAC built out resources for care coordinators to use to engage and inform consumers about the roll out of the new dental coverage, what services are available, how to check eligibility, and how/where to access care. In addition, MDAC is seeking opportunities to promote the significant expansion of Maryland Medicaid adult dental coverage by connecting with the care coordination community as well as community partners, coalitions, alliances, conferences etc. MDAC can share updates and resources around the new dental coverage, what services are available, how to check eligibility, and how/where to access care.

If you need information about the Maryland Medicaid adult dental coverage, please refer to MDAC’s informational landing page https://www.mdac.us/medicaid/ and corresponding digital one-page flyer (link English and Spanish).

If you would like to have MDAC present at your upcoming meeting, in-person or virtual, please fill out a MDAC presentation request.
