Program Limitations

Provider Bulletin 2012-38 “ Change of Dental Benefit Assignment by Dental Provider to Benefit Assignment by Client.”

  • The benefit limitations for services delivered to all clients

changed from a provider based benefit assignment to a client based benefit assignment which mirrors commercial dental plan reimbursement. This took effect on November 1, 2012 for all clients.

  • All dental providers who deliver services to clients should

check to ensure that each client is eligible to receive dental services by verifying the client’s eligibility status and dental history before performing any treatment on a client.

Program Limitations

  • To verify when a procedure was last performed on a client,

go to the www.CTDHP.com Web site and click on the link on the left hand side of the Home Page labeled "Provider Partners" then click on “Sign In”.

1) Choose the link labeled “Client Inquiry.” 2) Enter the client’s Medicaid ID number and date of birth and

click “Submit.”

3) The screen will return the client’s current eligibility status

for the date of the inquiry as well as a listing of all historical dental procedures performed on file for this client. The procedures reported go back to 2008. * It is important to ask clients about any recent dental visits as the claims history does not include claims yet to be submitted for services recently performed.

Once per calendar year vs. one time per 365 days.

  • As of November 1, 2012 the frequency for services limited by

a one time per year benefit, are calculated by calendar year and not a rolling 365 days.

  • If the dental service was provided in October 2013 and the

provider wants to provide the service again in May 2014, the system will allow payment for these services because the system evaluates the claims based on being performed and paid in a calendar year.

  • When a client requires services more than the program

permits, the provider must request a prior authorization from CTDHP.

Numbers to be Used in Conjunction with Specified Procedure Codes”. And bulletin 2009-57 “Correction to Bulletin 2009-25 Updates to Requirements for Dental Claims Submission.”

  • It informs dental providers about the proper tooth numbers to use

when submitting claims which involve CDT codes that require tooth numbers and/or letters.

  • This bulletin also defines the proper format to use when submitting

claims which involve supernumerary teeth.

  • Certain procedures have age restrictions on specified codes and

this bulletin informs dental providers of the age limitations that are included on the Medicaid Dental Fee schedule.

ICD-10

  • ICD-10-CM: The clinical modification diagnosis classification

system was developed by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the National Center for Healthcare Statistics (NCHS) for use in all U.S. health care treatment settings. (The CM codes increase from 13,000 to 68,000-plus in the ICD-10- CM code set.)

  • Currently, CMAP does not require a diagnosis code on dental

claims unless the procedure code is D9920 (Behavior Management). So majority of dental claims will not be affected by this transition.

  • Do note – if you submit a diagnosis code on your claim, it will

be subject to ICD-10 editing. Also be aware of any requirement(s) to submit diagnosis code(s) when submitting for a prior authorization or writing a prescription.
