HUSKY Health dental coverage in New Britain CT

HUSKY A, B, C & D — What Each Covers for Dental

HUSKY is Connecticut's Medicaid and CHIP program, and its dental benefits are administered by the CT Dental Health Partnership. Whichever letter is on your card, dental coverage comes with it:

HUSKY A: Medicaid for children, parents and caregivers, and pregnant patients — full dental benefits for kids, plus adult coverage.
HUSKY B: The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) — dental checkups, cleanings, and treatment for kids in working families.
HUSKY C: Medicaid for adults who are 65+, blind, or living with a disability — including exams, fillings, extractions, and dentures in qualifying cases.
HUSKY D: Medicaid for low-income adults — routine and emergency dental care, with some services needing prior authorization.

HUSKY dental benefits for kids and adults

Adult vs. Child Dental Benefits

HUSKY dental covers more than most members realize — and children's coverage is especially strong.

Children under 21: Exams and cleanings every six months, X-rays, fluoride, sealants, fillings, extractions, and medically necessary orthodontics — with no co-pays for essential services.
Adults: Exams, cleanings, X-rays, fillings, extractions, and emergency care; medically necessary root canals and dentures may qualify with prior authorization.
