CareSource has updated dental coverage policies for Georgia Medicaid through its partnership with Skygen, effective November 1, 2025. This is a corrected revision of an October 1, 2025 notification that contained errors; the clinical criteria have been revised with accurate information. Dental practices in Georgia must verify all affected procedure codes against the updated Skygen policies in the DentalHub portal.
Healthfirst's Medical, Dental and Oral Health Coverage Reimbursement policy (PO-RE-169v2) covers dental services under the medical benefit when they are medically necessary and directly related to or integral to a covered medical service, such as reconstruction of the dental ridge after surgical removal of a tumor or stabilization of teeth in connection with a jaw fracture. Claims for these services must include a valid ICD-10-CM diagnosis code and a valid CDT procedure code, and the KX modifier is required effective July 1, 2025. The 4/20/2026 revision replaced CPT/HCPCS procedure code requirements with CDT procedure code requirements, and routine dental services remain excluded unless covered under the member's plan.
