Medicaid (Title 19)

Children in Florida Medicaid Title 19 get dental through special dental plans chosen by the state of Florida. If you do not pay a monthly premium for your child’s insurance, your child is in the Title 19 plan.

Your child’s dental care will continue to be managed by one of these plans:

These plans will help take care of your child’s dental needs, such as checkups, cleanings, fillings, braces, and other dental services your child may need.

Some services may need approval from the dental plan before they are done. Your child’s dental plan can explain what services are covered.

Children’s Medical Services (CMS) Plan by Molina Healthcare helps by covering non-emergency anesthesia and sedation when dental care is given in a hospital or an ambulatory surgical center (ASC). CMS Plan will work with the dental plans to support your child’s care in these settings.

Visit the Florida Agency for Health Care Administration for more information about Medicaid dental coverage.

KidCare (Title 21)

Members who qualify for CMS Plan through Florida KidCare are enrolled in the Title 21 plan. If you do pay a monthly premium for your child’s health insurance, then your child is enrolled in this plan.

Your child’s CMS Plan will continue to include dental care coverage through Liberty Dental Plan. If you have questions, you may call Liberty at (877) 236-0246 (TTY: (877) 855-8039).
