What’s in it

This bill requires that a provider participating in the dental wellness plan or the dental wellness plan kids shall be reimbursed for services at the percentage of the usual, customary, and reasonable fee or at the percentage of the commercial dental insurance billed charges, whichever is higher, to align dental provider reimbursement rates under the dental wellness plan and the dental wellness plan kids with those under the healthy and well kids in Iowa (Hawki) program, in order to maximize dental provider participation in and member access under the dental wellness plan and the dental wellness plan kids.
