Services and Eligibility

Eligibility

Low-to-no Income

All patients must meet our income eligibility (see income verification) to be established as a patient. We use the ALICE threshold for income and a sliding scale for payment.

Dentally Underinsured

We accept patients with Medicaid or no dental insurance. We encourage all patients with other insurance coverage to reach out to our partner dental offices for an appointment.

Income Verification

All established patients must provide a proof of income, including: a copy of their most recent paystub, a statement of benefits (SNAP eligibility, social security statement, etc.), or a signed letter from a case manager or employer.

To become a patient with us, you must provide income verification documents to our staff and allow 5-10 business days for approval. We must see all income documents for everyone living and working in your Household. Example documents for submission are tax returns, a letter from your employer, or a SNAP approval letter. We cannot accept bank statements, Zelle transactions, Cash App transactions, or similar as proof of income.

Please send documents to: frontdesk@ncdo.net.

No matter the service, we keep care affordable for every patient we serve.
