Iowa College of Dentistry halts new adult Medicaid dental patients
The University of Iowa College of Dentistry will no longer accept new adult patients covered by Iowa's Dental Wellness Plan starting July 1. The change follows program complexities that hinder oversight of additional Dental Wellness Plan patients, though 8,000 current adult patients will continue receiving care. The move is seen as pushing the Medicaid program toward a crisis and drawing concern from the Iowa Dental Association.
