"Once you get started, you're going to see how beneficial it is and how easy the process is. We used to accept PPO plans at our office, but over the past year have phased out of accepting any of them. We love how consistent and easy it is to work with Medicaid."

"It's your way. You get to choose how you do it and they don't step in and tell you that you must see anyone, they don't tell you your hours or the dollar amount that you have to do, so you get to those, you continue to run your practice the way you want."

"I'd say that the rate increase definitely helps. We found ways to make it work over the years, but it has made it easier to accept it, easier to take on associates and hygienists to help without having to cut anything anywhere."
RELIABLE AND CONSISTENT
Why MO Dentists Accept Medicaid
1. Reliable Income
MO Medicaid provides reimbursements on a regular schedule. Plus, providers can claim retroactive reimbursements following rate increases and for Medicaid patients served prior to credentialing approval.
2. High Demand
1 in 8 Missourians depend on Medicaid to access dental care, and rural communities in particular lack local providers. If you offer Medicaid, patients will come.
3. Efficient Operations
MO HealthNet and Managed Care plans all provide transparent resources, direct communication, and standardized processes to minimize your administrative burden.
