Dental provider secures contract extension with health department | Louisiana
SUMMARY: The Joint Budget Committee has approved a one-year extension of DentaQuest’s Medicaid dental services contract, covering nearly 771,000 recipients. The decision aims to maintain patient choice and improve accountability, requiring quarterly performance reviews. While some lawmakers express doubts about DentaQuest’s progress, citing service gaps, particularly in northeast Louisiana, health officials stress the importance of choice to meet federal guidelines. Despite DentaQuest facing criticism for claim denials and a shrinking dentist network, officials argue that denying the extension could disrupt services for vulnerable populations. The additional year will allow for the development of a robust request for proposals for better service provision.
