Dental Clinics North welcomes back adults enrolled in Medicaid
Medicaid adult dental benefit fully reinstated as of October 1
(October 4, 2010) Governor Jennifer Granholm signed a series of budget bills late last week which include full restoration of dental coverage for adult patients enrolled in Medicaid. Medicaid adult dental benefits were cut to emergency-only services 15 months ago.
“This is great news for our patients and for Michigan tax payers,” said Linda Yaroch, Deputy Health Officer for the Health Department of Northwest Michigan, which manages eight Dental Clinics North locations, providing oral health services for low income and uninsured residents across the tip of the mitt. “Medicaid patients with untreated dental disease end up in hospital emergency rooms, which is far more costly than seeing a dentist.”
