What Is Gold Coast Health Plan?

  • Gold Coast Health Plan (GCHP) is the local Medi-Cal managed care organization serving Ventura County, including Santa Paula, Fillmore, and surrounding communities.
  • It operates as a County Organized Health System (COHS), a public, not-for-profit plan built to serve local Medi-Cal members.
  • Most residents are enrolled automatically once they qualify for Medi-Cal through Ventura County’s Human Services Agency.
  • Dental care for Gold Coast Health Plan members runs through a separate program called Medi-Cal Dental, often known as Denti-Cal.
  • Keeping your Medi-Cal case current and reporting address or household changes on time helps you avoid gaps in your coverage.
  • Our Santa Paula front-desk team is happy to help confirm your current Gold Coast Health Plan and Denti-Cal status before your appointment.

What Dental Services Could Gold Coast Health Plan Cover?

According to Medi-Cal Dental (Denti-Cal) guidelines, members enrolled through Gold Coast Health Plan may have access to:

  • Diagnostic and preventive visits, such as exams, cleanings, and x-rays.
  • Basic restorative care, including fillings and tooth extractions.
  • Root canal therapy for infected or damaged teeth.
  • Scaling and root planing to support gum health.
  • Full and partial dentures for patients who qualify.
  • Orthodontic care for children who meet specific medical necessity requirements.

HMO vs. PPO for Dental

A DHMO will require a primary care dentist and usually comes with lower out-of-pocket expenses and typically no coverage outside of the network.
