Adult, Children and Orthodontia Dental Benefits Updates

"Adult Dental Benefit
  • Here are resources that describe this interim benefit, including an addendum to the Dental Fee Schedule and the path to the revised Dental Provider Billing Manual.
  • Last Friday, the Medical Services Board (MSB) approved the rule that defines the more comprehensive dental benefit to follow.
Children's Dental Benefit
Due to the large volume of stakeholder feedback and the need to properly process that input and consider changes to the draft policy, we have pushed this date back by two months. The Children’s Dental Benefit will go before the MSB on June 13th for first reading.

Important dates related to the Children’s Dental Benefit are as follows:
  • Tuesday, May 27 (9am) – Public Rule Review Meeting
  • Tuesday, May 27 (9am) – Public Rule Review Meeting
  • Friday, July 11 – Tentative: Second reading for final adoption of Children’s Dental Rule in front of Medical Services Board (MSB).
Children's Orthodontia Benefit
  • The revised Children's Orthodontia Benefit will not go to the MSB at the same time as the revised Children's Dental Benefit.
  • We have asked Oregon Health Science University's Medicaid Evidence Based Decisions Project (MED) team to independently review the research and data provided to us by the various Benefits Collaborative participation before making further policy decision."  [Source: HCPF]
