Increasing Medicaid dental provider reimbursement rates

Summary

The legislation would increase the fees dentists receive from Medicaid by at least 20% and broaden coverage for adults 21 and older to include preventive, diagnostic, and restorative dental services. It caps the new coverage at $2,000 per two‑year period and requires the state to report on dental program costs. The changes aim to address provider shortages and rising costs caused by inflation.
