Dental Utilization Data Tables
The following tables provide Medicaid and BadgerCare dental
utilization data by state fiscal year. The data are listed by year and
then by county. Statewide data is available at the bottom of the
county selection page.
A state fiscal year runs from July 1 — June 30. For example, FY 2006 runs
from 7/1/05 — 6/30/06.
The tables provide the following data:
Total Recipients — The number of recipients eligible for Medicaid
and BadgerCare in each county during the fiscal year.
Recipients Obtaining Dental Services — The unduplicated count and
percentage of recipients residing in that county for whom Medicaid paid
for at least one dental service in that fiscal year. Recipients may have
seen one or multiple providers in the same county or in different
counties.
Total Medicaid Certified Providers — The number of providers who
were Medicaid certified in that year. Providers were assigned to a
county based on their most recent practice location as reported to
Medicaid. This location does not always represent all locations where
the provider practices or where they practiced in previous years.
Unduplicated Recipients — The unduplicated count of Medicaid and
BadgerCare recipients served by providers in that county, regardless of
whether the recipient lives in that county or a different county and
regardless of the number of services received by the recipient.
Recipients per Dentist — The number of unduplicated recipients
divided by the total number of Medicaid Certified Providers in that
county.
Notes:
- A dental service is defined as an encounter with a dental provider,
regardless of its nature or complexity. It may include emergency care,
prophylaxis (cleanings and exams), fluoride treatments, sealants, repairs,
and complex dental procedures.
- These numbers are not intended to provide an indication of the
number of providers that are currently accepting new Medicaid and
BadgerCare clients. Recipients need to contact the provider’s office
directly to determine if services are currently available.
