Total Care - this is Medical insurance; patient will have either MCNA or Delta Dental Wellness for dental
DOCTOR GOEL IS NOT CONTRACTED WITH MCNA. SO ANYONE WITH MCNA WILL NEED TO BE SCHEDULED WITH DR. PODRAY.
There are some updates after July 1st for Iowa offices.
1) Now patients is not going to have Medicaid of Iowa. All the patient which were having Medicaid of Iowa, their insurance got changed to Dental Wellness and MCNA.
2) I know you guys are not scheduling any start appointments. But let's say if any patient calls and they want to schedule the start appoint for Braces, they need proof of Dental Check up/Cleaning by by their General Dentist. Our Orthodontist generated the letter which we can forward it to the patient or their general dentist. At office level from now on we give this letter on their Consultation Visit. Just in case if they lost it, you guys can forward it to the patient/office.
