Dental Services

The Division of Medicaid and Health Financing (DMHF) is submitting changes to Attachments 4.19-B, 3.1-A and 3.1-B in the Medicaid State Plan through "SPA 13-024-UT, Dental Services".

To clarify client eligibility for dental services, this amendment specifies that residents in intermediate care facilities for people with an intellectual disability (ICF/ID) are eligible to receive dental services under the Medicaid program.

DMHF does not expect any increase in annual costs to result from this amendment.

The proposed effective date of this amendment is 07/01/2013, and it is pending Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services approval.

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