AI Summary

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