Your Medicaid Dental Benefits Explained with Delta Dental of Iowa

Did you know that Medicaid members in Iowa have separate dental benefits available to them? Many people don't — and that's exactly why we're having this conversation.

At the 2025 My City My Health Conference, special host Paula Bell sits down with Taryn Jonet from Delta Dental of Iowa to unpack what dental coverage looks like for Iowa's Medicaid and Hawkeye populations, and how Delta Dental is showing up as more than just an insurance company.
Taryn breaks down how Delta Dental serves over 450,000 Iowans through a one-door approach to care — helping members find dentists, access specialty services, get transportation to appointments, and connect with community resources that address the social determinants of health. Plus, she shares how their team of Iowa-based staff partners with nonprofits, community health centers, and managed care organizations to make sure no one falls through the cracks.
