Bill Summary
Maryland Medical Assistance Program – Dental Coverage for Adults
AI Summary
This bill expands dental coverage under the Maryland Medical Assistance Program (Medicaid) for adults. Specifically, it requires the state to provide 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. The bill also removes a frequency limitation on covered dental prophylaxis care or oral health exams, allowing them to be provided at intervals shorter than 120 days within a plan year. This measure aims to improve access to essential dental care for low-income adults in Maryland.
