Action needed
Immediately: Billing team must update billing system to include the 24 newly covered preventative dental codes for Kansas Medicaid members 21 and older. Update encounter forms and EMR templates to include frequency limits (D0470 once per lifetime, D1310/D1330 once per year, D1320 twice per year). Verify provider type/specialty codes are correctly mapped for proper reimbursement rates. Monitor KMAP website for rate updates as rates are subject to future changes.
