This dataset shows the use of Medi-Cal dental benefits by Medi-Cal beneficiaries, displayed by age group and calendar year (for 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017). This information is displayed in three categories: 1) Continuity of Care, which shows the number of beneficiaries that received an Oral Evaluation (Current Dental Terminology (CDT) codes D0120 or D0150) or a Prophylaxis (CDT codes D1110 or D1120) each year for two consecutive years; 2) Usual Source of Care, which shows the number of beneficiaries that received at least one dental service each year for two consecutive years; and 3) Utilization by years, which shows the number of beneficiaries enrolled for one continuous year that received any dental service (shown as 1yr dental service), enrolled for two consecutive years that received any dental service (shown as 2yr dental service), or enrolled for three consecutive years (shown as 3yr dental service). The Medi-Cal beneficiaries included in this dataset include those continuously enrolled in either Dental Managed Care or the Dental Fee-for-Service delivery system for the entire measurement period.
