MassHealth Training Information
MassHealth offers training to support physicians and qualified personnel to offer fluoride varnish services to MassHealth members younger than 21 years old. Fluoride varnish is safe, inexpensive, and effective in preventing tooth decay. Offering fluoride varnish as a routine service is one way that primary care teams can help prevent tooth decay and improve the health and well-being of MassHealth members.
We can provide support to practices looking to implement or improve fluoride varnish services. Assistance can be provided with office workflow and MassHealth billing. We offer tools, resources, and sharing of best practices.
To learn more, please contact Jenna Blanchette, BS, RDH, DentaQuest, Outreach Coordinator/MassHealth Dental Program at Jenna.Blanchette@dentaquest.com / (617) 413-5427.
