Apple Health (Medicaid) Provider Alert

Attention dental providers:

Effective for dates of service on and after January 1, 2020, clients enrolled in Medical Care Services (MCS), formerly General Assistance (GA), will receive the full scope of Apple Health dental benefits as other eligible clients as listed in Chapter 182-535 WAC.  

The Health Care Authority (HCA) is in the process of repealing WAC 182-535-1066 Dental-related services—Medical care services clients since this section will no longer apply.

HCA will update the Dental Billing Guide by January 1, 2020, to reflect this change, and will also resend this notice as a reminder to providers in November and December.
