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.
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.

3.0 out of 5 from 275 reviews.

The “dental department” here shouldn’t even be called a dental department, it’s dirty, metal tools are on the floor, and they do nothing for you. I could hardly understand what the person working on me was saying and they don’t take any time to learn about the history of your mouth, like what to not do in your particular case/situation. I would probably avoid if you can, it was a bad idea I see in hindsight unfortunately..the visits are very rushed.

Trucare (Quick care) in San marcos have excellent and very good care. Needed biopsy at other location but couldn't make it. Nurses made appointment to come in. Were helpful and courteous asked questions and gave the care that was needed.

Support staff does the best with what they have. I would not recommend bringing your children to Dr. Posadas based on his comments regarding medical school admissions. Makes you question how he sees/treats POC.

Questions People Ask

Does Dr. Matthew Meador 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.

How do I make an appointment?

Call (760) 736-6767 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.
