Reimbursement for Dental Services and Dentures  

  • The Division of Medicaid and Health Financing (DMHF) will submit a State Plan Amendment (SPA) to update Attachment 4.19-B of the Medicaid State Plan.

    Based on increased funding from the Utah State Legislature, SPA 15-0019-UT Reimbursement for Dental Services and Dentures is being submitted. Rates will be increased effective July 1, 2015.

    DMHF anticipates this rate change to result in an increase of approximately $2,564,500 in total annual expenditures.

    The proposed change is pending Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approval.

    A copy of the change may be obtained from Craig Devashrayee (801-538-6641), or by writing the Technical Writing Unit, Utah Department of Health, P.O. Box 143102, Salt Lake City, UT 84114-3102. Comments are welcome at the same address. Copies of the change are also available at local county health department offices.
