What’s in it

AI summary This bill changes how much money dental offices get paid when they treat adults on the Medicaid dental wellness plan. It requires these contractors to pay dental providers the same rates they pay for the Hawki program for children. This change aims to help more dentists accept these patients so adults can get easier access to dental care.1

Read the official explanation

This bill relates to dental services provided to adults 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 for adults 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.
