LIBERTY Dental Plan of Nevada remains fully operational and continues to monitor federal and state guidance in response to the COVID-19 Virus. We have taken steps to ensure our members, providers, and workforce are safe and have access to vital information, as well as any assistance needed in providing or accessing emergency dental services.

To better serve Nevadans who are experiencing dental pain or a potential dental emergency, LIBERTY announces the expansion of our Teledentistry Program to include all Nevada Medicaid Dental recipients across the State. Serving as an oral healthcare resource during this crisis, LIBERTY will assist recipients throughout the entire State with their emergency dental needs.

Our Teledentistry program allows members to use a free mobile app through the convenience of a smartphone or computer to access licensed dentists who are able to perform assessments, write prescriptions if needed, and advise on pain management strategies. In addition to making the app available and expanding the use of the program for all emergencies, LIBERTY will continue to assist members requiring further treatment by finding a local provider.

Any member experiencing dental pain or a potential dental emergency should:

• Start by contacting your dental provider for local assistance and treatment.
• If your provider is unable to provide support or treatment due to closures, contact LIBERTY’s toll-free member hotline [phone] for navigation to the Teledentistry Program. During normal and after business hours, members can access this service through our call center.
• Immediately call 911 if the situation is thought to be life-threatening.

Our expanded Teledentistry Program will be available until further notice. LIBERTY will continue to monitor this fluid situation and adjust to support our members and providers as needed.
