Update: Crown Prior Authorization (PA) Exception for Endodontic Therapy
On October 19, 2022, the Office of MaineCare Services (OMS) issued a bulletin informing providers that MaineCare will no longer require a PA for crowns provided in conjunction with endodontic therapy when a qualifying diagnosis was included on the dental claim. The list of qualifying diagnosis inadvertently listed ICD-10-CM code K04.0-Pulpitis.
