Map of Medicaid Adult Dental Waiver Programs

With the help and support of Maryland Medicaid and the Maryland Department of Health Office of Oral Health, MDAC developed a series of maps to depict the location, by county and zip code, of dual-eligible adults ages 21-64 who were newly eligible to receive dental benefits through the Medicaid adult dental waiver program. MDAC also mapped the locations of Medicaid dental providers and social service agencies to identify areas of the state that lack a sufficient number of providers and support services to serve dual-eligible adults seeking dental care under the Medicaid adult dental waiver program. This helped MDAC focus its work with its members, partners, and stakeholders to recruit Medicaid dental providers and increase awareness of the new dental benefit in areas of the state with the greatest need.
