AI Summary
This bill amends Section 36-2907 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which relates to the covered health and medical services provided by the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS). The key provisions of the bill are:
1. It removes the annual $1,000 limit on emergency dental care and extractions for adults aged 21 and over, and instead provides comprehensive and preventive dental care for this population.
2. It clarifies that for individuals receiving care at an Indian Health Service or tribal facility, adult dental services that are eligible for 100% federal medical assistance are not subject to the dental care coverage limits.
3. It prohibits the use of monies from the Hospital Assessment Fund to provide chiropractic services or diabetes outpatient self-management training services covered under AHCCCS.
The bill aims to expand the dental care benefits available to AHCCCS members aged 21 and over, while also clarifying the funding sources for certain covered services.
