What’s in it

AI summary This bill changes how much money dental offices get paid for treating people in the Medicaid dental wellness plan. It requires the state to make sure these payments are the same as what is paid through the Hawki program. This change aims to help more dentists agree to see patients in these programs.¹

Why it matters. Medicaid dental plan contractors would be required to set their reimbursement rates for dental providers at the same levels used for the Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa (Hawki) program. This change aims to increase the number of dental providers participating in the Medicaid dental wellness plan and improve access to services for its members.²
