About Husky Dental

Provided in conjunction with the Connecticut Dental Health Partnership, Husky Health’s dental insurance program covers all qualifying residents of Connecticut. Husky Health insurance (of which the Husky Dental is a part of) is the state’s public health coverage program for children, caregivers, parents, the elderly, adults with no dependent children, adults with disabilities and also pregnant women. The Connecticut Dental Health Partnership (CDHP) runs Husky Health’s dental coverage, and helps state residents find quality dental care at little or no cost to plan participants. Husky Dental’s day-to-day administrative activities are handled exclusively by the Connecticut Dental Health Partnership.

Husky Dental providers in CT is just one part of the entire Connecticut Department of Social Services healthcare plans for state residents.

The Application Process – The First Step in Finding Husky Dental Providers in CT

Husky D Dental is administered under Husky Health Insurance, and there are four categories of coverage:

Husky A – Available for most Connecticut teens, parents, caregivers and pregnant women. This is the most common of all Husky Healthcare packages.

Husky B – Many states carry their own “CHIP” program (Children’s Health Insurance Program), and Connecticut’s Husky Health Plan B meets the requirements for children and teens up to the age of 19. Similar to the Husky A plan, but for individuals and families with slightly higher income levels. Husky reserves the right to adjust qualifying income levels on a yearly basis; make sure you check the latest income bracket to get a better idea of your Husky dental plan options.

Husky C – Medicaid for Connecticut residents with disabilities. If you’re familiar with Connecticut state health benefits, it’s commonly called Medicaid for the “Aged, Blind & Disabled.” The Husky Health C plan is for adults over the age of 65.

Husky D – This level is Medicaid for the lowest-income residents of Connecticut. If you’ve been out of work for a while, have a minimum wage job or don’t have a steady source of income, the Husky D plan might be the best option.

Figuring out your particular level of Husky D benefits and coverage can be confusing at times, but Dr. Dental is here to help. All of our Connecticut dental offices have knowledgeable personnel to assist you and your family. The Connecticut Department of Social Services webpage is the best place to go when applying for Husky Health insurance benefits.

For the Husky Health A, B and D plans, would-be plan participants should go to the Access Health Connecticut portal. Additionally, you can call (855) 805-4325 to speak with a Husky Health representative. The website portal or a phone call is the best way to apply. With these two methods, you’ll get faster answers to all your questions, and eligibility can also be determined before your application is completed.

The Department of Social Services office is also an excellent resource to apply. The one drawback to a DSS field office is wait time; on most days, you’ll have to wait to speak with a DSS representative. Check with your local CT state health office for hours of operation. It is recommended to arrive immediately when your office opens for prompt, attentive service.

If you’re applying for the Husky Health C plan (adults with disabilities and adults over the age of 65), please visit Connect CT website. You can also visit a DSS field office.

Note: even if you already have regular medical healthcare insurance, you have to apply for Husky Dental insurance through the Connecticut DSS office. Since Husky Dental is connected to Husky Health, you must enroll and apply with the DSS.

You can also apply for Husky Health through the CDHP. Their website includes a “How to Apply” page, with plenty of helpful information for getting the Husky D dental coverage you need for you and your family. The CDHP page includes a link to the Connecticut Department of Social Services, where you’ll need to go in order to connect with Husky providers in CT.

Regardless of how you apply to find quality care from Husky dentists, the plan providers will answer any questions you have.

Eligibility – Can I get Husky Dental Insurance Benefits?

Husky Health providers in Connecticut uses personal income to determine eligibility. On August 1, 2015, the Connecticut Department of Social Services issued new income guidelines. While these income brackets serve as a general outline for eligibility, you should contact the DSS if you’re not sure. Extraordinary circumstances (hardships, loss of employment, disability, etc.) are considered by Husky Health administrators, and you may be eligible for Husky Dental coverage. The bottom line: always double-check with a Department of Social Services representative.

If you are denied coverage, contact the DSS office directly at (855) 805-4325. Appeals and other avenues are always a possibility. Many times, Connecticut residents fill out the wrong information when applying, and this can impact the initial eligibility assessment.

Based on the latest income chart provided by the state of Connecticut’s public health department, residents can earn as little as $24,692 (for a family of 2 on the Husky A plan) and as much as $105,202 (for a family of 6 on the Husky B plan).
