Download or read book The Effect of Change in Medi-Cal Dental Coverage on Dental Care Utilization Among Medi-Cal Beneficiaries written by Min He Zhang and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most important factors in accessing dental care is having dental insurance. For people with low incomes, Medicaid is the main source of health insurance. Medi-Cal is California's Medicaid program. Adult dental services were mostly eliminated in Medi-Cal in 2009 due to the economic downturn and partially restored in 2014. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of change in Medi-Cal dental coverage, specifically the partial restoration of adult dental coverage in 2014, on dental care utilization among Medi-Cal beneficiaries. The partial restoration significantly increased the utilization rates in dental clinics from 2014 to 2017 (22% in 2017 vs. 12% in 2013) for the overall population. However, the magnitude of increase differs in different age groups and ethnic groups. More statistically significant findings show greater utilization rates among beneficiaries of 19-64 than 65-74 and 75+ years old. Also, more significant findings show lower utilization among Black than White, Hispanic or Asian beneficiaries. The partial restoration significantly reduced the dental related ER visits among Medi-Cal beneficiaries from 2015 to 2017. However, the reduction is largely seen in beneficiaries of 19-64 years old in the ethnic groups of White and Black with reductions of 20 and 15 visits per 1,000 enrollees respectively in 2017 comparing to 2013. The dental related ER visits were lower for Hispanics and Asians, and remained very low among those 65 years old and above. In addition, the partial restoration resulted in increases in participation of dental care providers in the Medi-Cal program.

Book excerpt: Children's access to Medicaid dental services is a long-standing concern. Medicaid -- a joint fed. and state program that provides health care coverage, including dental care, for 30 million low-income children -- but, many children in Medicaid experience difficulty finding a dentist who would treat them. At the fed. level, the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) oversees Medicaid. This report examined: (1) state strategies to monitor and improve access to dental care for children in Medicaid; and (2) CMS actions since 2007 to improve oversight of Medicaid dental services for children. The author surveyed all state Medicaid programs and interviewed state and fed. officials, and dental researchers and associations. Charts and tables.

This book was released on 2012-01-22 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Access to oral health care is essential to promoting and maintaining overall health and well-being, yet only half of the population visits a dentist each year. Poor and minority children are less likely to have access to oral health care than are their nonpoor and nonminority peers. Older adults, people who live in rural areas, and disabled individuals, uniformly confront access barriers, regardless of their financial resources. The consequences of these disparities in access to oral health care can lead to a number of conditions including malnutrition, childhood speech problems, infections, diabetes, heart disease, and premature births. Improving Access to Oral Health Care for Vulnerable and Underserved Populations examines the scope and consequences of inadequate access to oral health services in the United States and recommends ways to combat the economic, structural, geographic, and cultural factors that prevent access to regular, quality care. The report suggests changing funding and reimbursement for dental care; expanding the oral health work force by training doctors, nurses, and other nondental professionals to recognize risk for oral diseases; and revamping regulatory, educational, and administrative practices. It also recommends changes to incorporate oral health care into overall health care. These recommendations support the creation of a diverse workforce that is competent, compensated, and authorized to serve vulnerable and underserved populations across the life cycle. The recommendations provided in Improving Access to Oral Health Care for Vulnerable and Underserved Populations will help direct the efforts of federal, state, and local government agencies; policy makers; health professionals in all fields; private and public health organizations; licensing and accreditation bodies; educational institutions; health care researchers; and philanthropic and advocacy organizations.

Book excerpt: Background: Medicaid-enrolled children have dental coverage, yet have higher rates of caries and untreated decay, and do not visit the dentist as often as privately insured children. I explored parent perspectives navigating the public dental system (Medi-Cal) in California's San Joaquin Valley for themselves and their young children. Methods: I conducted 25 in-depth, semi-structured interviews with parents whose children were enrolled in Medi-Cal across three San Joaquin Valley counties. Parents were asked to reflect on their family's dental experiences and provide recommendations on improving navigation of the public dental system. I used a Constructivist Grounded Theory approach to inductively explore themes across transcripts, and co-constructed theories about parent narratives on reported social processes using my informed analyses on Medi-Cal policies. Results: Parents reported long wait times between and during dental appointments and identified Medi-Cal system barriers related to low reimbursement rates and strained relationships with the dental field, which discourages dentists from participation in Medi-Cal and constrains the number of Medi-Cal participants who could have their dental needs addressed in a timely manner. Parents also experienced separate and unequal treatment compared to privately insured counterparts. I introduce a new concept of dental habitus (applied from Bourdieu's concept of habitus) that is productive for thinking through how dental health-related experiences over the life course influence how individuals navigate the dental field. Conclusion: Limited Medicaid-participating dental providers in areas with high enrollment hindered many families' ability to seek timely, affordable care, and in some cases utilize dental benefits altogether. Despite coverage, families who face challenges accessing the dentist may not benefit from important dental care and information, which may constrain future use and contribute to dental disparities. Based on this study, I recommend state Medicaid policy improve the supply of dental providers and specialists (i.e., pediatric dentists) through increased reimbursement, improve relations with dental professionals, and encourage non-participating dentists to accept Medicaid since non-participation/limited participation has deleterious effects on population dental health.
