How to Use the Fee Schedule
The fee schedule is broken out to show the prior authorization requirements by dental specialty. To use the fee schedule, locate the procedure code desired and follow the line across to your applicable dental specialty to see if prior authorization is required. The fee schedule will also note the procedures that require post procedure review.
Procedures which require prior authorization/post procedure review are identified on the fee schedule using the following codes:
PA Prior Authorization is required prior to providing service for all ages
PR Post Procedure Review required after the service has been performed and prior to payment being made
PAR Prior Authorization required for Members over 21 years old and Post review required for under 21 years old
<21 Prior authorization is required for this service when provided for a Member under the age of 21
>21 Prior authorization is required for this service when provided for a Member over the age of 21
21-69 Prior authorization is required for Members 21 years of age and older, but less than 70 years old
An empty box on the fee schedule signifies that no prior authorization is required.

HUSKY B Fees and Co-Pays
As of July 1, 2010, Husky B members are responsible for co-pays on many dental procedures. The fee schedule shows the percentage of the fee that the member is responsible to pay as an out of pocket expense. For example, if the fee shown for a procedure is $100.00 and the HUSKY B co-pay amount is shown as 20%, the member would be responsible for $20.00. Please note: If a provider bills less than the allowed amount as shown on the fee schedule, the member would only be responsible for the percentage shown on the fee schedule and applied to the billed amount. When the provider fee is higher than what the Medicaid fee schedules shows, the provider must bill the co-pay percentage against the Medicaid listed fee schedule amount.
