An initiative of the Richard Berkman & Toni Seidl Health Care Justice Project.

In October 2015, the Law Center launched an effort with Dechert LLP to improve oral healthcare for children in Pennsylvania’s Medicaid program. Along with Dechert, we have been working with a group of key stakeholders in the pediatric dental care community to better understand why kids on Medicaid in Pennsylvania are getting dental care at disappointingly low rates. Through our efforts, we have identified a number of potential reforms that could increase children’s access to and utilization of dental services. We are now working to promote the adoption of several of these reforms.
