Compare South Dakota by procedure
What South Dakota pays for each common procedure, with every state’s comparison one click away. Each rate shown is the median across South Dakota’s localities for the first of the procedure’s CDT codes the state lists.
Methodology
Rates are pulled from South Dakota’s published Medicaid dental fee schedule, a public record. The national rank uses a fixed basket of six common procedures (periodic exam, adult and child cleaning, 1-surface filling, stainless steel crown, simple extraction) so every state is compared on the same procedures rather than on a raw average that code mix would distort. Where a state publishes separate adult and pediatric schedules, both are shown. 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.
