When can a dental provider begin billing for goods or services provided to Medi-Cal dental recipients?
Prospective Medi-Cal dental providers must apply and be enrolled in the Denti-Cal program, be assigned a provisional provider number and agree to conditions of participation before payment can be made for services furnished to Medi-Cal dental recipients. The effective date on the enrollment letter is the date a provider can begin billing for services. Rendering providers cannot directly bill, rather, the group bills Denti-Cal for services rendered by the rendering provider.
