We are pleased to announce the release of a new report, “School Dental Services and Medicaid Billing in Pennsylvania.” This PCOH report examines challenges and opportunities related to children’s access to dental care. The project aimed to assess the scope of dental services currently provided in public schools, identify barriers to implementation and sustainability, support schools in serving as access points for preventive care, and advocate for policy changes that would allow Medicaid reimbursement for services delivered in school settings.
This report was made possible through the generous support of the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health. We would like to acknowledge the contributions of Corinna Culler, RDH, DrPH, a PCOH consultant who served as the lead author.
