EPSDT requires that any medically necessary health care services be provided when the service is needed to correct or ameliorate a dental condition.
Coverage is available under EPSDT for services even if the service is not available under the Smiles For Children to the rest of the Smiles For Children population.

Submission of electronic claims is highly recommended via our web portal or through a clearing house.
If submitting paper claims, they must be submitted on a 2006 or newer ADA claim form, which can be found at www.ada.org.
To ensure your claims are not returned to you, be sure to:Enter the appropriate NPI numbers in box #49 and #54. Include the treating dentist signature in box #53. Acceptable signatures include: “Signature on file”, electronic name and typed names.Indicate in box #4 if the member has other insurance. Check the appropriate Place of Treatment in box #38.If you are submitting an adjustment, void or resubmission of a claim, enter “adjustment”, “void” or “resubmission” in the remark field box #35.
Do not send in marked up pre-authorization determination letters when submitting the services for payment. The services must be submitted on an appropriate ADA claim form.
When submitting claims/authorizations via regular mail, do not also submit the request electronically. Sending both creates duplicate requests.

In the weeks leading up to the migration, providers may receive larger than normal checks.
As a result of the July 11, 2011 migration, providers will not receive a reimbursement check during the week of July 25, 2011.
Providers may continue to submit claims through the current web portal through July 10, 2011.
Providers should plan accordingly and prepare for this delay in claims payment. DMAS and DentaQuest will not issue advance pays associated with this delay.
