What’s in it

This bill relates to dental services provided to members under the Medicaid dental wellness plan. The bill requires the department of health and human services to require any Medicaid dental plan contractor for the Medicaid dental wellness plan to align reimbursement rates for dental providers with the reimbursement rates for dental providers under the healthy and well kids in Iowa (Hawki) program to maximize dental provider participation in and member access to dental services.
