But you yourself (IIRC) posted that some dentists have gotten rich seeing only pediatric Medicaid patients.

******************************************************
I don’t recall ever saying that. Maybe you are thinking of someone else.

I think it is true that pediatric cases have a decent reimbursement rate for FQHC, but IIRC, for the average dentist in private practice, it is not.

And the rules are changing so that Pediatric Dental will no longer be profitable even for the FQHC.

Sorry, it was Grams A

Texas has made a whole bunch of dentists very wealthy by paying for dental work through Medicaid. Children who have parents who are employed and, therefore, not eligible have dental work on “as the budget allows” basis.
