Reimbursement Rate Updates for CSHCN Dental Procedure Codes

Starting March 1, 2025, the Children with Special Health Care Needs (CSHCN) Services Program will raise its payment rates for specific dental procedure codes that are performed after the listed date. The adjustments will be posted following the public rate hearing conducted on November 12, 2024.

TMHP has declared that these modified rates remain a component of their continuous initiative to improve dental service payment equality under the CSHCN Services Program. The new revisions could affect healthcare organizations that specialize in treating children with special health needs.

Healthcare professionals together with stakeholders can access the official Dental Spreadsheet to review the modified reimbursement rates that show all procedural adjustments. The new payment rates introduce improvements to service accessibility and enhance payments to match modern standards.

To obtain more information, providers should connect with the TMHP-CSHCN Services Program Contact Center at 800-568-2413.

Credentialing

Credentialing is the rigorous process of verifying a healthcare provider’s qualifications, including their education, training, licenses, and clinical experience. This service ensures that practitioners meet the high standards required by insurance networks and hospitals to provide care and receive reimbursement.

Billing & Collection

Billing and Collection service involves confirming a patient’s insurance coverage, active status, and specific benefits before their appointment. By identifying co-pays, deductibles, and required prior authorizations upfront, staff can prevent claim denials and help patients understand their financial responsibilities.

Eligibility Verification

Eligibility verification is the process of verifying a patient’s health insurance coverage and benefits to determine what services are covered and the level of coverage available. This process is essential for healthcare providers to ensure that they receive proper reimbursement for services rendered and that patients are not left with unexpected medical bills.

Revenue Cycle Management

RCM is the financial process that manages the entire lifecycle of a patient’s account, from the initial appointment scheduling to the final balance payment. It integrates eligibility, coding, billing, and collections into a single, cohesive workflow aimed at maximizing a practice's profitability.
