Critical Access Dental Payment Program (CADPP)

The goal of CADPP is to support dental practices with a high volume of active PrimeWest Health patients and increase access to dental services for our members. The Minnesota Department of Human Services (DHS) determines eligibility. Refer to the Minnesota Health Care Programs (MHCP) Provider Manual for additional information.

Critical access dental providers that contract with PrimeWest Health will receive both the critical access add-on payment and the increased PrimeWest Health reimbursement.

PrimeWest Health critical access add-on payments are paid on each qualifying claim. CADPP payments are noted on remittances as claims are paid. Refer to Billing Policy Overview in the MHCP Provider Manual for CADPP reimbursement rate information.
