What we care about
Personalized care
We take full responsibility for our members receiving quality care. This means on top of delivering dental services we also work with patients to address social barriers to care.
Invest in prevention
We believe in prioritizing disease prevention. We work closely with members to help equip them with the tools and knowledge necessary to experience better health long-term.
Collaborative care
We collaborate with primary care organizations to work together with them to oversee the care of our members, which allows members to receive comprehensive care.
What members love about FulcrumCare
A dental experience designed for you
We understand that when it comes to your health, many factors can serve as barriers to receiving care. That is why we tailor our services to your specific needs, whether that means driving you to your appointments, setting up your appointments, or providing financial assistance for copays.
Care beyond the Office
What happens outside of the dental office plays a significant role in your health. To help you be most successful we provide regular support through telehealth calls, messaging and home visits. If you have a dental emergency over the weekend, you can count on us to be there for you too.
A medical and dental Team behind you
You get the care you need, period
Collaboration between us and your primary care doctor eliminates any hassle in sending or receiving health records. We work with your medical team directly to complete clearance forms for treatment, send progress reports regarding your oral health, and we’ll stay informed about your medications and health updates.
Members receive a care plan that is unique to them. If your insurance does not cover a service that we recommend, we will work directly with your insurance to get you coverage. If they refuse to pay, we’ll provide financial assistance so you can still receive the care you deserve.
Our mission
To be the leading value-based dental provider for medicaid and medicare members by eliminating every barrier to oral care.
"No one should suffer from a preventable disease."
During her career as a registered dental hygienist FulcrumCare founder and CEO Laurie Jimenez noticed significant gaps in the oral health of her low-income and elderly patients. She saw how the dental industry consistently failed to prevent disease development and progression in Medicaid and Medicare members.
FulcrumCare aims to close the gap in oral health care by transforming the way that dental care is delivered and by centering its care model around the needs of every member.
