Methodology
Rates are pulled from Washington’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.
