What’s in it

AI summary The state would give extra money to the Department of Health and Human Services to help pay dentists more for their work. This change helps people using the dental wellness plans get better access to care by paying providers at higher rates.1

Read the official explanation

This bill makes an appropriation from the general fund of the state to the department of health and human services (HHS) for FY 2023-2024, in addition to any other funds appropriated for the same purpose, to be used by HHS to adjust reimbursement rates for providers participating in the dental wellness plan and dental wellness plan kids to provide reimbursement for services at the commercial usual, customary, and reasonable fee rate or at the commercial dental insurance billed charges rate for the service, whichever is higher, in order to maximize dental provider participation in and member access under the dental wellness plan and dental wellness plan kids.
