Summary
Connecticut HUSKY Health (Medicaid) is implementing new treatment planning and radiographic imaging requirements for dental providers performing multiple procedures on permanent teeth, with specific exemptions for various dental specialties. Most dental specialists are exempt from submitting treatment plans, but general dentists, prosthodontists, and public health dentists must submit treatment plans when performing 2+ procedures on permanent teeth.
Action Required
By November 1, 2021: Dental billing teams must update workflows to require treatment plan submissions with radiographic imaging for HUSKY Health members when general dentists, prosthodontists, or public health dentists perform 2+ endodontic, crown, or prosthodontic procedures on permanent teeth. Set up electronic submission process through CTDHP portal at www.ctdhp.org or mail hard copies to BeneCare Dental Plans. Verify specialty-specific exemptions in billing system - most dental specialists do not need treatment plans submitted.
