Non-Medicaid providers may collect a required copay or deductible from a patient who has dual coverage to bill the private plan for a covered service. Before collecting the copay or deductible, the patient must sign a voluntary informed consent agreeing to the cost sharing. These patients may not be balance billed for any amount the private plan does not pay, unless the service provided is a noncovered benefit under the Medicaid dental plan. Read the
full Medicaid policy.

Members: Dr. Liliane Brantes and Dr. Peter Vanicek
Reason: Donated Dental Services to Children
Dr. Liliane Brantes and her husband, Dr. Peter Vanicek, sold their practice in 2012 and took their expertise on the road, or maybe more accurately, across the ocean, to countries worldwide to help children in need of dental treatment.
"Working with children is most rewarding because through them we are able to create communities of people who grow up with good oral health," says Dr. Brantes. "These children will then pass on the same good habits to their own children."
