How to find dentists accepting KanCare (Medicaid)
- All children enrolled in KanCare have dental coverage. For help finding a dentist for your child, use the Find a Dentist for Your Kid search tool on the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services website at this link: www.insurekidsnow.gov/coverage/find-a-dentist/index.html
- At present, Sunflower and Aetna cover some denture services for people receiving the Frail Elderly (FE) or Physical Disability waiver and United Healthcare cover some denture services for eligible FE waiver members. Increased denture services will be made available for all KanCare enrollees on July 1, 2023.
