Your Visit, Step by Step
How a Medicaid Visit Works
Medicaid includes dental benefits for children. What it pays for depends on your child's plan. Here is how we handle it:
- Call our Shreveport or Bossier City office with your child's Medicaid card.
- We look up the plan and check what it covers.
- We tell you what to expect before the visit.
- If a treatment is not covered, we explain the cost first. Then you decide.
Insurance Words in Plain English
- In-network: The dentist has a contract with your plan. You usually pay less.
- Deductible: The amount you pay each year before your plan starts to pay.
- Copay: A set amount you pay at the visit.
- Annual maximum: The most your plan will pay in one year.
- Estimate: Our best count of what your plan pays and what you owe. We give it to you before treatment starts.
Before Your Visit: A Short Checklist
- Finish your child's patient forms before you arrive. Need the forms? Call either office.
- Have your insurance or Medicaid card ready when you call. We check your benefits before the visit.
- Bring your photo ID and your child's insurance card.
- Pack a comfort item, like a favorite blanket or toy.
- Pick a time when your child is rested. Morning visits often go best.
What Happens at a First Visit
A first visit is short and gentle. Most of it is a talk with you. The dentist looks at your child's teeth, gums, and bite. We clean the teeth and may add fluoride varnish if your child needs it. Then we show you how to brush and answer your questions about teething, pacifiers, and diet.
Babies can sit on your lap for the exam. Some little ones cry, and that is normal. Our goal is to make the dental office a friendly place. See our guide to your child's first dentist visit for more tips.
After the Visit
Most kids come back every six months for a checkup and cleaning. Regular dental care keeps small problems small. If your child needs treatment, we walk you through each step. You get a clear estimate before any work begins. Ask about payment plans if you want to spread out the cost.
