Bill Summary
Maryland Medical Assistance Program – Dental Coverage for Adults
AI Summary
This bill expands dental coverage under the Maryland Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid) to include comprehensive dental care services, including diagnostic, preventive, restorative, and periodontal services, for adults whose annual household income is at or below 133% of the federal poverty level, starting on January 1, 2023. Previously, the program only provided limited dental coverage for certain adult Medicaid recipients. The bill also removes the frequency limitation on covered dental prophylaxis care or oral health exams, allowing these services to be provided at intervals shorter than 120 days within a plan year.
