RE: New Process for Viewing Dental Restorative History via the Web Portal

Beginning August 16, 2022, providers may use the new Dental Restorative Service History panel in the Medicaid Interactive Web Portal to view restorative dental history. 

This feature will allow providers to verify if a restorative service has previously been performed on the same tooth within the last 12 months. Dental history may be performed for the following dental restorative codes: D2140-D2161, D2330-D2335, D2930-D2932, D2391-D2394, and D7140.

NOTE: This feature is only available to Dental Providers. 

As always, providers should verify eligibility prior to rendering any services. We strongly encourage providers to save the eligibility verification until the services have adjudicated.  

Effective September 1, 2022, Dental Providers contacting our Provider Assistance Center to verify dental history for services available for verification via the web portal will be directed to the web portal to obtain dental history.
