Dental Managed Care Performance Measures
The Department of Health Care Services (DHCS) publishes Dental Managed Care (DMC) performance measures quarterly on a rolling 12-month basis. This methodology enables the reports to capture data by State Fiscal Year (SFY), Federal Fiscal Year (FFY), and Calendar Year (CY). Previously, Geographic Managed Care (GMC) reports were published annually by CY since 2013 and Prepaid Health Plans (PHP) reports were published by SFY since FY 2013-2014. GMC plans operate in Sacramento County, and PHP plans operate in Los Angeles County.
The thirteen DMC performance measures include Annual Dental Visit, Use of Preventive Services, Use of Sealants, and others. Beginning SFY 2015-16, each measure is comprised of beneficiaries with 90-days continuous eligibility.
