How much do I have to pay for dental services?
Members in the Medicaid program do not have to pay for covered dental services.

If you are a member in the CHIP program you might have to pay a copayment for certain covered services. This includes non-preventive services. You do not have to pay a copayment for things like exams, x-rays, cleanings, and sealants. If your child gets dental services before dental coverage with CHIP starts, you will have to pay for them.

CHIP copayments vary based on your family's income. The total amount that you have to pay cannot be more than 5% of your family's income during one enrollment period. Your copayment amount is on the back of your child's MCNA member ID card. Below are the CHIP office visit copayments according to a family's federal poverty level:
- Native Americans: $0
- Alaskan Natives: $0
- At or below 100%: $3
- Above 100% to 150%: $5
- Above 150% to 185%: $20
- Above 185% to 200%: $25
