Successful State Medicaid Dental Reforms
     While many state Medicaid dental programs have remained stagnant and ineffective in assuring access for low-income children, a few states have instituted remarkable reforms that have increased both dentist participation and dental access for child beneficiaries.
     With support from Greater Hartford Legal Aid and CDHP, Don Schneider, DDS MPH (former Chief Dental Officer at the federal Medicaid agency) has developed summaries describing Medicaid innovations in six states. These reports explain what each state did to improve access and how much improvement they obtained through reform. We acknowledge with gratitude the assistance of State dental Medicaid program officials in compiling these reports. Click here for reports on innovation successes in:
