Michigan has raised the reimbursement rates for dental procedures performed in outpatient hospitals and ASCs.
The minimum Medicaid payment rates for dental services provided under general anesthesia at outpatient hospitals were raised to $2,300 and $1,495 for services provided at ASCs. The policy also switched the reimbursement methodology for dental services provided in these settings from the outpatient prospective payment system to a Medicaid fee schedule.
The policy went into effect Oct. 1 and was approved by CMS in November.
