Bill Summary

Relative to public health dental hygienists. Public Health.

AI Summary

This bill amends a provision in Massachusetts state law regarding public health dental hygienists. The key change is the removal of language that previously limited these hygienists from seeking reimbursement from insurance providers other than Medicaid, except as required by federal Medicaid law. This change aims to improve the sustainability of public health dental hygienists by allowing them to seek adequate reimbursements from a wider range of insurance sources, beyond just Medicaid.
