Summary
Alaska Medicaid published a comprehensive dental FAQ addressing portal compatibility, claim attachments, travel authorizations, and billing procedures. Key updates include clarification on denture travel authorization processes, retroactive billing allowances, and patient notification requirements for services exceeding annual limits.
Action Required
Immediately: Alaska Medicaid dental providers must notify patients of any charges exceeding the $1,150 annual limit BEFORE services are rendered and document patient agreement in medical records prior to treatment. Update workflows to submit claim attachments within 24 hours of claim entry into MMIS. Ensure dental service authorizations are approved before requesting member travel for procedures requiring authorization.
