Louisiana Report – Nov 2020

Under the leadership of Dr. Don Donaldson, the state has approved an increase in Medicaid fees for certain procedures, like interproximal Class II restorations. We also continue to work with the Louisiana Dental Association and their Council on Governmental Affairs to promote legislation that supports our local dentists. Lastly, we were able to get approved tele-dentistry fees for during the stay-at-home orders of the COVID-19 pandemic.
