Bill > SB648

This bill provides dental coverage for adult Medicaid recipients in West Virginia. It defines key terms such as "cosmetic services," "diagnostic and preventative services," and "restorative services," and mandates that the Department of Health and Human Resources extend Medicaid coverage for diagnostic, preventative, and restorative dental services, excluding cosmetic services. The coverage is limited to $1,000 per year, with recipients responsible for costs exceeding this limit. The Department is also required to implement a dental care system, including oversight, quality assurance, case management, and patient outreach activities, and to seek approval from the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services to implement these provisions.
