The ADA Practice Institute is launching a new resource aimed at helping dentists deliver care to Medicaid patients while maintaining financial viability.
Recognizing that Medicaid participation often presents significant operational and reimbursement challenges, the Medicaid Financial Sustainability Toolkit: An Operational Guide for Dentists Wishing to Treat Medicaid Beneficiaries is designed to support dentists who are committed to serving underserved populations but need effective and operational strategies to do so sustainably.
While the ADA continues to advocate for increasing reimbursement rates and reducing administrative burden at the state and federal level, the toolkit offers practical, experience-informed solutions developed with the input of dentists actively treating Medicaid beneficiaries across the country. The guide provides concrete strategies for credentialing, scheduling, team utilization and administrative coordination to help mitigate common issues that lead to lost revenue or patient attrition.
