HB 250 (2019)

Dental care under Medicaid

Summary:

Allows a dental patient to demand an oral prophylaxis (teeth cleaning) be performed even if the supervising dentist determines that a dental procedure or surgery is required. The Senate amended the bill to instead require the state to contract with dental managed care organizations to provide dental care under Medicaid (similar to SB 754).
