CCSB: California Dental Network (CDN) Plans Will No Longer Be Available

Effective October 1, 2024, Covered California for Small Business (CCSB) will no longer offer California Dental Network (CDN) plans within their dental plan offering for new enrollments and renewals. CCSB understands the importance of dental benefits for members and is committed to ensuring they continue to receive high-quality dental care. To support with this transition, CCSB will continue to offer Delta Dental and Dental Health Services for employers/members looking for a dental plan option.  

CCSB encourages you to familiarize yourself with the upcoming changes listed below to prepare to assist employers/members in transitioning smoothly to their new dental plans.

Important Details:

• New CCSB Employer groups with an effective date on or after 10/1/24 will not have CDN as a dental option. They may choose one of the other dental plans.
• CDN Members of existing groups renewing on or after 10/1/24 must choose a new dental carrier to maintain dental coverage.
• For existing groups renewing on or after 10/1/24 that currently have CDN as their reference dental plan, the reference plan will be migrated to the Delta Dental HMO. Should a group wish to choose a different reference plan, they will need to actively select a new plan during their renewal period.
• CDN Members of existing groups that have already renewed for 2024 will stay with CDN until the 2025 renewal period. At that time, they will be required to choose a new dental carrier to maintain their dental coverage.
• Existing groups that have already renewed for 2024 can maintain CDN as their reference plan through their renewal month in 2025, at which point the reference plan will be migrated to Delta Dental HMO. Should a group wish to choose a different reference plan, they will need to actively select a new plan during their renewal period.
