Dentist Asks Medicaid Money Go Toward Dental Care
Dentist Kent Vandehaar asked for more Medicaid money to be directed for dental care. Vandehaar said his practice has stopped accepting MA patients because he loses money under the current reimbursement rate.
"I want to accept more patients, but I can't afford to," he said. He pointed out that of the $4.4 billion MA budget, only 1 percent is directed toward dental care.
