Yes, we take Medicaid!
If you have Health First Colorado, you can be seen at Just U Dental. We are a Medicaid dentist in Aurora, and we have accepted Medicaid since the day we opened.
Health First Colorado is the name of Colorado’s Medicaid program. If your card says Health First Colorado, that is Medicaid. Some people also carry a card from a separate plan that manages their dental benefits. Bring whatever card you have and we will sort it out with you.
Before your visit, our team checks your benefits and explains them in plain language, so you know what is covered before any work starts.
What to do first
Call us and have your card in front of you. That one call answers most of what people want to know:
- NWhether your plan is active
- NWhat your plan covers right now
- NWhether anything you need falls outside your benefits
- NWhat a visit would cost you if it does
What Health First Colorado covers
Medicaid dental benefits are not the same for everyone. What you get depends on your plan and on whether you’re an adult or a child, and the rules change over time.
For the state’s own description of the dental benefit, see Health First Colorado benefits and services. For anything specific to you, call us.
If your plan will not cover something
Sometimes a plan does not cover a treatment you need, or it covers part of it. That happens, and it is not the end of the conversation.
A few things we can do:
- Tell you the cost up front, before you decide
- Split care into stages so you can handle it over time
- Offer financing through CareCredit or Sunbit
- Walk you through our $150 annual dental savings plan, which covers exams, x-rays and imaging, your first regular cleaning or perio maintenance cleaning, and 25% off other services (deep cleanings are not included)
Three offices across Aurora and Denver
You can be seen at any of our locations. Your records and your treatment plan follow you between them.
All three offices are open Monday through Friday, 7:30am to 5:30pm.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you take my Medicaid plan?
We are a Medicaid dentist in Aurora and we accept Health First Colorado. Whether your specific plan and benefits are active is something we check for you before your visit. Call (303) 337-5800 with your card and we will look it up.
Are you accepting new Medicaid patients right now?
Call and ask. Schedules change week to week, and our front desk can tell you what is open before you commit to anything.
Does Medicaid cover cleanings?
It depends on your plan and your age. We will not guess at it here. When you call, we look up your benefits and tell you exactly what applies to you before your appointment.
What about adults? I heard Medicaid dental is only for kids.
Adult and child dental benefits under Medicaid are different, and they are not the same in every state. Colorado has its own rules. The fastest way to find out what you have is to call us with your card, or read the state's own summary at Health First Colorado.
What if I need something Medicaid will not cover?
We tell you the price before you decide. From there you can spread treatment out over time, use CareCredit or Sunbit financing, or look at our $150 annual savings plan. Nothing gets started without you knowing the cost.
What do I bring to my first visit?
Bring your Health First Colorado card, a photo ID, and a list of any medications you take. If you have a card from a separate dental plan, bring that too. That is all we need to get started.
Can I be seen the same day if I am in pain?
Often, yes. We keep room in the schedule for urgent dental care. Call the office nearest you and tell them you are in pain.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. Our team speaks English and Spanish.
