What Amerigroup Medicaid Coverage Covers

What is included in your Amerigroup Medicaid Plan will depend on your state. For instance, if you live in Virginia and you need to get accidental dental injury treatment for your child, then you are required to make the request within 60 days of the accident. To know more about your coverage, go through your state’s membership guidelines. In all the states listed above, Amerigroup Medicaid plans will cover the following at little to no cost to you.

  • Pain relief and treatment of infections, such as cavities.
  • Teeth restoration (e.g., if your child’s tooth is broken and will require emergency treatment)
  • Dental health maintenance (like teeth scaling and routine dental checkups)

Generally, all kids will receive the following services which are included under minimal coverage:

  • Dental check-ups— At each appointment, dentist will do a thorough dental exam, during which they can tell you if the child has any infection or disease. They can also tell you about future problems that may come up, if any. From there they will proceed with routine teeth cleaning.
  • Diagnostic tests—Tests are done if the dentist finds any problems to determine the cause of the problem areas. Issues like decays are not always visible with naked eyes and will need an x-ray to determine the location of the decay.
  • Teeth cleanings—Routine cleanings include removal of any tartar. A specific dental toothbrush will then be used to scrub teeth gently to remove the remaining plaque. Flossing between each teeth and fluoride treatment will follow, which helps to make enamel stronger, preventing any further decay for a longer period.
  • Orthodontic consultation— Once your child turns 7, you can also get a complementary braces consultation for your child. Dentists can predict the need for braces and will also explain you about different types available and what is the best suitable choice for your child.
  • Root canals and crowns—Root canal treatments are performed when decay has reached the deepest layer of the tooth (called “pulp”). A crown might be needed after root canal treatment to prevent teeth from further damage.
  • Cavity fillings—Kid’s teeth are not as strong as grown-ups, so they have more risk of getting dental cavities. Our Kool Smiles partner dentists can give you a variety of dental filling treatments, with different materials, to choose from. For example, composite, metal, porcelain etc.

Your location will determine your child’s options for these dental treatments. Normally, Amerigroup Medicaid will give either full or partial coverage for these services if they are deemed necessary (from medical point of view).

  • Kid-friendly waiting rooms. As you enter a Kool Smile Kids Club partner’s office, our waiting rooms are created with designs and vivid colors that are geared towards kids. They’re also filled with interesting games, activities, and books to help keep them entertained.
  • Also, several of the offices have playgrounds. This is a great way to let your child burn off some excess energy before and after their dental treatment.

Our staff is also flexible in allowing parents to accompany children during their treatment if child is too young or if child has come for their first dental appointment.
  • Parents and children are educated at each visit by our dental staff to help have clear understanding of the problems and the treatment.
