Complicated Sutures
Medicaid covers complicated suturing only in instances of trauma where simple sutures cannot
be placed or simple suturing is not possible. Medicaid does not pay separately when done with
extractions of unerupted teeth or when the dentist creates the flap or incision. Medicaid requires
detailed documentation of the traumatic event in the dental record.
