Sec. 8.
Medicaid reimbursement is available for extraction of teeth. Extraction of teeth must be medically necessary, and the diagnosis must support extraction. If multiple extractions are performed on the same date of service, the maximum allowable payment for additional teeth will be reduced by ten percent (10%) of the maximum allowable for the first tooth. Payment for preoperative and postoperative care is included in the allowance for the operative procedure and may not be billed separately to Medicaid. Payment for placement of sutures or tissue trim, or both, in simple extractions is included in the reimbursement fee for the extractions and may not be billed separately to Medicaid.
