The Michigan Oral Health Coalition (MOHC) works to create a large, interconnected network of national, state and local advocates dedicated to working collaboratively on advocacy, education and awareness of oral health.
To advocate for policies and resources that connect Michiganders to optimal oral health.
The Michigan Oral Health Coalition (MOHC) takes public policy positions on policy matters, including legislative items and regulations promulgated at the local, state or federal level. All public policy positions must be consistent with and in furtherance of MOHC’s mission and vision.
The Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) awarded Comprehensive Health Care Program contracts for Michigan’s Medicaid Health Plans across the state’s ten Prosperity Regions. A full breakdown of which plans cover which region in the state can be found here.
MDHHS issued a notice of effective policy, which began on March 1, 2024, that makes changes to comprehensive and periodic exam coverage in conjunction with full mouth debridement. This is to better align with the American Dental Association (ADA) and Current Dental Terminology (CDT) guidance.
MMP 24-02 states that a full mouth debridement is a benefit for those aged 14 and over once every 365 days and may be performed the same day as a comprehensive or periodic oral evaluation when all components of the evaluation have been completed and recorded. Full mouth debridement is not a covered benefit when performed on the same date of service as a comprehensive periodontal evaluation or when a prophylaxis is completed on the same day.
