Medicaid & Oral Health in Nebraska

The NDA is committed to improving access to dental care for Nebraskans enrolled in Medicaid. Every resident deserves timely, high-quality dental services, and dentists should be supported in providing that care.

Why It Matters

Many Medicaid patients face barriers including low reimbursement rates, service caps, and limited provider availability. Strengthening Medicaid helps prevent costly emergencies and improves overall health.

NDA’s Priorities

  • Expand Access: Increase provider participation by addressing reimbursement and administrative hurdles.

  • Strengthen Coverage: Advocate for comprehensive benefits without restrictive caps.

  • Promote Accountability: Encourage transparency and effective management of the Medicaid program.

How Dentists Can Help

  • Stay informed and participate in NDA advocacy efforts.

  • Share experiences with Medicaid participation to help shape policy.

  • Connect with colleagues to increase provider engagement across the state.

For Patients

  • Ask your dentist if they accept Medicaid.

  • Contact your Medicaid plan for a current list of providers and covered services.

  • Reach out to NDA for guidance or to report access issues.
