Methodology

Rates are pulled from each state’s published Medicaid dental fee schedule, all public records. A tooth extraction (simple) can be billed under more than one CDT code (D7140); each state’s figure is the representative covered rate, the median of the first of those codes the state lists, across its localities. A rate of $0 or none means the code is not in the published schedule, treated as not covered. These are fee-for-service schedule amounts (what Medicaid pays when a service is reimbursed), not a coverage or eligibility guarantee, and they do not reflect Medicaid managed-care plan rates. Confirm current rates and eligibility with the state Medicaid program.
