Counseling by Dental Practitioners Now Reimbursed by Medicaid

Glenn · May 21, 2014 · Leave a Comment

Effective April 1, 2014, for Medicaid fee-for-service (FFS) and July 1, 2014, for the Medicaid managed care benefit package, dental practitioners will be able to provide and receive Medicaid reimbursement for smoking cessation counseling (SCC) services as defined in their scope of practice. This coverage does not supersede or alter any regulations issued by the NYS Department of Education governing scope of practice for dentists. A dental practitioner will be allowed to provide two smoking cessation counseling sessions to a Medicaid beneficiary within any 12 continuous months.

Find out more in the May 2014 Medicaid Update.
