Comprehensive dental care is a benefit for children and adolescents through the Delaware Medicaid and CHIP Programs. DMMA has compiled a list of enrolled dentists and it is now posted at the following website:
http://www.dmap.state.de.us/information/DE_participating_oral_health_providers.pdf
Click on the link and print off the list to help locate a dentist in your area who can treat your Medicaid or CHIP eligible child. Once you have made an appointment with a dentist who will care for your child, be sure to keep that appointment. Missed appointments prevent your child from receiving the vital oral health care he/she needs and can cause difficulty with making your next appointments.
- Delaware CHIP Look-Alike Request for Information
The purpose of this Request for Information (RFI) is to solicit information, comments, and suggestions to determine the level of interest among health insurance entities and other interested parties that will enable the Department of Health & Social Services to develop a possible Request for Proposal (RFP) to provide comprehensive health insurance to children aged 0 through 18 in families with income above 200% of the Federal Poverty Level that would look like Delaware's existing CHIP program. The CHIP look-alike plan would be fully operated by a commercial insurance company covering all of the same health care services provided by the existing Delaware Healthy Children Program (DHCP), but fully paid for from premiums collected by the insurance company from the families who enroll their children. Responses from interested vendors, families, or other parties regarding this RFI should be sent to Frank O'Connor, Division of Medicaid & Medical Assistance, Delaware Health & Social Services, Herman M. Holloway Sr. Campus, Lewis Building, 1901 North DuPont Highway, New Castle, Delaware 19720 by 4:30pm, November 13, 2009.

Visitors can sign up for personalized news and updates, participate in online discussions and suggest resources for the site. New features include a Twitter feed, Really Simple Syndication feeds, a blog, social bookmarking and a user-friendly way to obtain answers to questions on such topics as finding employment and job accommodations.
