Limits of Coverage
The Dental Corrections Program will pay the provider for dental services according to the Medicaid Fee Schedule. If a child's treatment requires hospitalization or an outpatient surgical facility and general anesthesia, the Program can assist with these expenses. Based on family size and income, a child may qualify for full assistance (100% of expenses) or partial assistance (75%, 50% or less).

The Dental Corrections program does not cover any orthodontic procedures. When some third-party assistance is available (Medicaid, for example), the Program will not consider paying for treatment exceeding the limits of that coverage.

Application for the Dental Corrections Program must be made at a County Health Department office of the Mississippi Department of Health. The proposed treatment plan should be submitted by the dentist. All forms and correspondence should be sent to the following address:
