Effective on or after July 1, 2014, the South Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (SCDHHS) will implement an Adult Preventative Dental benefit. Medicaid enrolled dentists may seek reimbursement from the Fee-for-Service Healthy Connections program for the preventative dental benefit services. These services are available to members age 21 and over that have full Healthy Connections benefits. Covered services include diagnostics, extractions, fillings and an annual cleaning, up to a maximum of $750 per state fiscal year (July to June). The $750 maximum will be based on claim payments under the SCDHHS dental fee schedule.

 

SCDHHS is asking each dentist to take a moment and complete this very short 6 question survey before Tuesday, August 5th.
