Description

Minnesota’s Special Needs Basic Care health plans are working collaboratively with Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS), including the Special Needs Purchasing team and the Direct Care and Treatment clinics (DCT), on an improvement project designed to increase the number of SNBC members accessing their dental benefit and reduce barriers to dental care for people with disabilities. The project includes several intervention strategies to support SNBC members, including Dental Case Management.
