Do I Have to Accept Every Medicaid Patient?

Being a dental Medicaid provider doesn't mean you lose your say on patient demographics or volume. It simply adds another revenue stream for you.

And we often get this question:

If I Offer Medicaid - Do I Have to Accept Every Patient?

The number of Medicaid patients you accept at your practice can be based on your practice needs.

Established providers may see the benefit of extending care to a smaller percentage of Medicaid patients as their time allows.

A newer provider can make a very profitable living providing care to a larger percentage of Medicaid eligible patients. Reimbursements are consistent and timely.

In either event, establishing care with Medicaid eligible patients gives them a dental home and increases their likelihood of returning for care.
