Dental

Welcome to the AmeriHealth Caritas District of Columbia dental provider network. We are committed to offering a dental benefit program that ensures access to high quality oral health care. We are proud that you will provide dental services to our enrollees directly through your agreement with us.

Want to become a participating dental provider? Professional providers must:

• Possess an individual Medicaid ID number and a group Medicaid ID number for their office or group. 
• Update your Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) application and notify us by email at credentialingdc@amerihealthcaritasdc.com of the completion or attach the required information listed above.
• If you do not participate with CAQH please visit the CAQH website (www.caqh.org) to self-register and grant AmeriHealth Caritas District of Columbia access to your application. Email your CAQH ID to credentialingdc@amerihealthcaritasdc.com.
• Complete the Practitioner Information (PI) Form (PDF) and email it to credentialingdc@amerihealthcaritasdc.com.

AmeriHealth Caritas DC requires that all dental providers enroll with Council for Affordable Quality Healthcare (CAQH) (PDF) ProView® for credentialing. As of January 1, 2019, the plan no longer accepts paper applications.
