What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill makes changes to the dental reimbursement pilot project in the

Medical Assistance program. Under current law, the Department of Health Services

is required to distribute moneys to increase the reimbursement rate for pediatric

dental care and adult emergency dental services provided under the Medical

Assistance program in Brown, Marathon, Polk, and Racine counties. The bill adds

to the counties in the pilot project any other counties, as determined by DHS, where

Medical Assistance recipients have the greatest need for pediatric dental care and

adult emergency dental services if the moneys allocated for the reimbursement

increase exceed $100,000 after providing the reimbursement increase for the

specified pilot counties. The bill also requires DHS to submit a biennial report on the

pilot project as described in the bill.
