Jun 20, 2026
Summary
Connecticut Medicaid dental providers must ensure accurate place of service codes in field 38 of dental claim forms, with code 15 specifically required for mobile units, dental vans, and community-based services. The place of service must reflect where services are actually delivered, not the billing entity's main location.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing team must verify all dental claims include correct place of service code in field 38. For mobile dental units, community-based services, and school-based care, use code 15. Update billing software to validate place of service reflects actual service location, not main clinic address. Review and correct any pending claims with incorrect place of service codes to prevent denials.
