Help wanted: Dentists for Medicaid kids
January 20th, 2008From the Toledo Blade:
Kids with disabilities who rely on Medicaid lack access to dental care, putting them at risk for medical complications, say Ohio dentists.
Low reimbursement rates are chief among the reasons why dentists don’t routinely accept disabled or poor children covered by Medicaid. Programs in Ohio, for example, pay about 51 cents on the dollar, while Medicaid reimbursements in Michigan are even less and vary by plan, dentists and others handling claims say.
