The Braces Place is dedicated to families with MassHealth Standard Insurance.
Dr. Rizkallah is the President of the Medicaid Orthodontists of Massachusetts Association, and he is often able to accomplish difficult approvals by working very hard to ensure every needy child is covered for their Medicaid orthodontic entitlements.
If you have MassHealth Standard and are under the age of 21, you are welcome to contact any of our six offices and we will file for MassHealth coverage for you. MassHealth covers orthodontic treatment when it is determined to be medically necessary, and our team handles the paperwork and clinical documentation needed to make that case on your child's behalf.
Three ways we help with MassHealth
If you're approved
If you are approved for coverage by MassHealth, you will not have any out-of-pocket costs for your orthodontic braces.
If you were denied
Denied at another office? Don't give up — let us submit for your coverage. If your need for braces wasn't severe enough to be covered, we'll provide a very affordable solution.
If you're transferring
Already have MassHealth braces from another office and moved nearby? Contact us and we'll submit for transfer coverage to the office nearest your home. You can also transfer between our offices mid-treatment.
