HIV: dental services

You should have no out-of-pocket expenses for your dental treatment as long as Program HH covers the service(s) you need. If you have private dental insurance and Program HH covers the procedure you have done, Program HH pays your co-pays or deductibles.

When you talk to the dentist, tell them:

Program HH is a state health care program
You have Program HH dental benefits
Your eight-digit program number.

Needs more information on Program HH or what services you can receive
Tells you Program HH does not cover the service you need.
