Zoom telehealth licenses for dental providers

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Health Care Authority has purchased a limited number of licenses for Zoom, a video conferencing technology that helps health care providers continue seeing patients without a physical encounter.

Zoom is an easy-to-use software in which providers will have the ability to host a virtual “meeting room” (i.e., a dedicated, provider specific URL) in which patients can enter and exit for their appointments.

We want to distribute this limited number of licenses free of charge to providers who have a meaningful need for this platform to support continuity of care, and don’t already have access to telehealth technology. This includes dental providers.

HCA is prioritizing Zoom licenses for those providers who need them most.

If you are interested in accessing this technology, go to our Zoom application page to submit your application.
