10 year (1999-2011) Florida Medicaid Expenditures for using child restraint (D9920) in Florida. In 2007 and 2008 the reimbursement was listed as "By Report" indicating there was specific requirement were necessary. In 2009, "By Report" was removed from the fee schedule.
Looks like children was lucky if they saw the dentist in 2008.
Clearly there were no requirements between 1999-2003.
Nearly $2 million dollars paid to dentist to restrain children in 2003! The reimbursement rate was $24 in 2003, you do the math!
There is a huge decrease between 2003-2004. Numbers certainly tell the story don't they?!
(I have these reports if needed including 2007-2012 fee schedules)
