The purpose of Bulletin Notification 08-22-13 Teledentistry Guidelines and Dental Fee Schedule is to notify dentists, Federally Qualified Health Centers (FQHCs), and Rural Health Clinics (RHCs) that the Department of Human Services (DHS) will pay for teledentistry, effective with dates of service on and after May 2, 2022, as well as to announce that procedure codes for counseling services have been added to the MA Program Fee Schedule. The Bulletin replaces Provider Quick Tip # 237, “Teledentistry Guidelines Related to COVID-19 for Dentists, Federally Qualified Health Centers and Rural Health Clinics” for teledentistry services rendered on and after March 1, 2020. DHS, following a clinical review, is also adding procedure codes D1310 (Nutritional Counseling for Control of Dental Disease) and D1330 (Oral Hygiene Instructions) to the MA Program Dental Fee Schedule.
