AI Summary

This bill amends Section 51 of Chapter 112 of the General Laws to remove the restriction that public health dental hygienists can only seek reimbursement from Medicaid, except as required by federal Medicaid law. This change would allow public health dental hygienists to seek reimbursement from other insurance providers or third-party payers, which could help ensure the sustainability of their services through adequate reimbursements.
