  • Title: Oklahoma dental Medicaid. A need for action.
    Author: Dalzell DP.
    Journal: J Okla Dent Assoc; 2001; 91(4):22-4. PubMed ID: 11496388.
    Abstract:
    Dental Medicaid in the State of Oklahoma must be made to work. But it will not work unless enough of us get involved and lead health officials, and legislators into the serious work that can turn Medicaid's promise into performance and a Medicaid card into meaningful dental care. Ironically, Medicaid's "EPSDT" (Early Periodic Screening, Diagnosis and Treatment) authorizes a high scope of dental coverage for the child. But trying to access care for the Medicaid eligible child is entirely another matter. Only a small number of Oklahoma dentists treat the quarter of a million Medicaid eligible persons in Oklahoma. Why is this so?
