What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, certain basic dentists’ services provided to Medical Assistance recipients are covered under the Medical Assistance program. This bill provides Medical Assistance coverage for those same services if provided by a dentist or dental therapist.
The bill also requires the Department of Health Services to ensure that a Medical Assistance recipient who is pregnant has the opportunity to see a dentist or dental therapist within 30 days of being referred for dental services under the Medical Assistance program. A dental therapist is an individual who is licensed to engage in the limited practice of dentistry. The Medical Assistance program is a joint state and federal program that provides health services to individuals who have limited financial resources.
