Current through September 24, 2024

Medicaid covers complicated suturing only in instances of trauma where simple sutures cannot be placed or simple suturing is not possible. Medicaid does not pay separately when done with extractions of unerupted teeth or when the dentist creates the flap or incision. Medicaid requires detailed documentation of the traumatic event in the dental record.
