Need a Dentist?

As of April 1, 2023, New Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services started offering expanded dental benefits to those aged 21 and older through the New Hampshire Medicaid program. This is now handled by DentaQuest. If you have any questions about the dental benefit offered through DentaQuest, please call them at 1-844-583-6151.

Learn more about the program

The children and adolescent dental benefit, for individuals younger than 21 years of age, is not changing and remains under the management of NH Medicaid.

As an AmeriHealth Caritas New Hampshire member, you keep all of your core Medicaid benefits.

What's more, you can enjoy extra benefits, too. We make care the heart of our work. Our family of companies has been serving members like you for more than 40 years. We have used all of that experience to provide extra benefits that help you focus on your health care needs.

If you get a bill or statement

As a member, you do not have to pay for medically necessary covered services you get from a New Hampshire Medicaid provider.

If you get a bill or statement, call AmeriHealth Caritas New Hampshire Member Services, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at 1-833-704-1177 (TTY 1-855-534-6730).

Remember to ask your health care provider:

  • Are you an AmeriHealth Caritas New Hampshire provider?
  • Does this service need prior authorization?

These questions can keep you from getting a bill.

New Hampshire Medicaid benefits covered outside the plan

New Hampshire Medicaid directly covers some Medicaid benefits that the plan does not cover even though the plan may help coordinate them. That is why you should always carry both your AmeriHealth Caritas New Hampshire and New Hampshire Medicaid membership cards. Always show your AmeriHealth Caritas New Hampshire member ID card to receive services covered by the plan. If you need help getting any covered services, please call Member Services, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, at 1-833-704-1177 (TTY 1-855-534-6730).
