Start Using Your Dental Plan

ID cards you need to get dental care

Each HPSM member in your household should have their own HPSM member ID card. HPSM Medi-Cal and CareAdvantage members will need their HPSM ID card to use dental benefits. Your dentist may want to use your Medi-Cal Benefits Identification Card (BIC) to confirm your Medi-Cal eligibility. The BIC is a plastic card with a poppy flower or blue and white design. You will need to bring both your HPSM member ID card and Medi-Cal BIC with you to your dental appointments.
