MCNA Dental first contracted with the Florida Healthy Kids Corporation in 2005 and has served members enrolled in the Florida Healthy Kids Program since then. MCNA continues to work with our network of participating Florida dentists to ensure our Florida Healthy Kids members have access to high quality dental care and services across the state. We encourage our providers to reach out to our dedicated Florida Provider Relations team at mcna_prdepartment@mcna.net or call our Provider Hotline at 1-855-698-6262 with any questions they may have.

Beginning July 1, 2025, all health care practitioners in Florida must comply with new background screening requirements when applying for an initial license or renewing an existing license. Compliance with this new law is essential to maintain licensure and continue practicing. We have compiled several online resources that can help you navigate this important process as well as other helpful information in this provider bulletin.

At MCNA, our mission is to ensure that all our members have timely access to essential dental care. This mission is only possible through the dedication and partnership of high-quality providers like you. Please read our provider bulletin for the mot current information regarding our appointment availability standards.

MCNA has added the American Dental Association (ADA) Guide to Extractions – Tooth and Remnants to our provider resources. This ADA resource is a helpful tool to provide guidance to your team when submitting claims for services to MCNA. The guide can be found in the News and Resources section of our website. Please read our provider bulletin for more information.
