New Dental Tools by MaineCare
Dental Tools
MaineCare’s Dental Workgroup has created a new Questions & Answers (Q&A) document and a dental webpage with resources for MaineCare providers. The Q&A document includes questions about billing, prior authorizations, system training opportunities, enrolling new providers, missed appointments, interpreter services, and more that we received from providers in the two dental forums in July and August. As we add new questions, we will make them green to indicate which questions are new. We will also add the date the document is updated in green.
The Q&A can be found on our new Dental Services webpage. This webpage is intended for dental service providers and billers and includes tools and information such as the presentation slides and recordings of the dental forums.
