Is prior authorization required for a general dentist to refer a member for an orthodontic evaluation?
In all areas of Nevada, orthodontic coverage is provided through the Fee for Service (FFS) benefit plan and requires a dentist’s referral. Prior authorization requests and claims for orthodontics must be submitted to Nevada Medicaid, not LIBERTY.

What if my patient is the beneficiary or member of more than one plan? How is Coordination of Benefits handled for the Nevada Medicaid program?
