Maine RHTP Teledentistry Grant — Schools and Oral Health Providers (2026)

Open applicant-facing Maine Rural Health Transformation Program grant. MCD Global Health, an implementation subawardee working with Maine DHHS, lists a distinct Teledentistry Grant for Schools, Primary Care-based Oral Health Providers, and Dental Practices. The grant supports integration of asynchronous provider-to-provider teledentistry into clinical and community workflows, with an emphasis on rural and underserved communities.

Application period and funding

Applications opened September 29, 2026 and close October 26, 2026 according to the current official MCD funding table and detailed grant listing. MCD does not publish an exact cutoff clock time or time zone on the accessible page. Individual applicant award amounts and limits are not published in the publicly accessible listing. The statewide federal RHTP allocation is not an applicant award amount.

Eligible applicants

MCD specifies applicants legally operating in Maine with a Unique Entity Identifier (UEI) who are licensed dental practices, dental-provider organizations, or oral-health programs providing direct clinical services in Maine, using appropriately Maine-licensed dental providers and actively serving MaineCare members. Applicants must demonstrate capability for secure teledentistry workflows, referral coordination, clinical documentation, connectivity and imaging, privacy and security, staff onboarding, training, de-identified monthly reporting, monitoring, evaluation and continuous quality improvement. Preference may apply to applicants serving rural, underserved, uninsured or MaineCare populations. A school applicant must still satisfy the listed clinical oral-health program eligibility requirements; school status alone is not proof of eligibility.

Verification and application requirements

This is a Grant, expressly distinguished by the administrator from the separate Teledentistry Providers Partner Service Agreement (PSA), which is a service-procurement pathway and is not this applicant grant. Before publication approval or advising a final application, obtain and review the controlling linked Wizehive application to confirm required documents, applicant-level award ceilings or the absence thereof, budget and permitted-cost rules, cost-sharing and reimbursement terms, submission instructions, and the final cutoff time if published. These items have not been independently verified in the interactive application.
