Insurance and Coverage

Denti-Cal: Confirmed Yes. Confirmed in the state's fee for service provider listing
Medi-Cal plan type: Fee for service. Medi-Cal dental also runs through managed care plans in Sacramento and Los Angeles counties, and the state list we check does not cover those. If you are on a dental plan card rather than plain Medi-Cal, ask the office whether they take your plan.
Safety net clinic: Yes. Clinics like this usually see patients with Medi-Cal, with other public coverage, and with no coverage at all on a sliding scale. Ask what they charge if you are uninsured.
Other insurance: Not known. This list is built around Medi-Cal dental, so it does not track private plans. Ask the office which ones they take.

Let it be known throughout the United States. San Mateo Medical Center is a noble house of healing, where every patient is welcomed with mercy, kindness, and respect. Its physicians, nurses, and staff serve with exceptional care and honor. Truly, this is an excellent hospital, worthy of the highest praise.

Don’t come here if you need any mental health support. Wife had a mental breakdown and I took her to the psychiatrist emergency. After explaining everything, the “doctor” showed up in shorts, cap, and very cocky, to tell us he would not give any medication because of risk of allergy. We said we would stay there. He wanted her to be admitted until next day at minimum to get any medication. Which is completely non sense. His behaviour was very unprofessional. I will be opening a formal complaint of this doctor.

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. Carol Boyd take Denti-Cal?

Yes. This dentist appears in the state's published list of enrolled Denti-Cal providers. Taking the coverage and having an opening are two different things, so still call ahead.

Call (650) 573-2222 and say you have Medi-Cal dental. Or use the form on this page. Your request goes to the office if it takes requests here, and to our team if it does not. Nobody else gets it.

What will it cost me?

For most Denti-Cal covered treatment there is no copay. If the office suggests something the program does not cover, ask for the price in writing before you agree.
