Round Valley Indian Health Center - Dental Clinic

The Round Valley Indian Health Center (RVIHC) is a small ambulatory out-patient state licensed community health clinic. RVIHC is also a 501(c)(3) non-profit state corporation that provides health care services to the entire community of Round Valley. The primary funding source of RVIHC is the Indian Health Service (IHS); however, due to insufficient funding the health center bills third party health insurances and has available program for patients with limited resources as outlined below. Below is a list of third party resources pertaining to direct care and onsite services.
The Health Center also has contracted health care funds for eligible Native American patients for hospital and specialty care. The requirement for contracted health care is described below; see Contract Health Services (CHS).
We are a full service dental clinic treating both adults and children. Some of the services we provide include dental fillings-both Amalgam (silver) and composite ( tooth-colored); dental prosthetics (full and partial dentures, crowns and bridges); dental extractions; minor oral surgery; endodontic therapy (root canals); and limited orthodontics.
Dental Office Hours: Monday-Friday: 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
Our intake personnel will co-ordinate Medi-Cal and EAPC appointments. Most types of insurance are accepted.
CHS payment will not be made unless a patient has exhausted all other avenues of obtaining an alternate resource. Applications to apply for Medi-Cal will be offered at the time of registration. A patient is required to bring income verification for determination of Medi-Cal eligibility. If your income exceeds the poverty guidelines of Mendocino County, you will not be required to complete a Medi-Cal application. Adults that exceed the poverty guidelines may be eligible for County Medi-Cal (CMSP), with a share of the cost and will be asked to apply. A valid denial will be required as with State Medi-Cal. If the patient refuses to bring in income and residency verification for screening, the patient will not be eligible for CHS.
