Bill > HB2513

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 state's Medicaid program. The key provisions of this bill are: 1. It adds preventive dental care as a covered service for AHCCCS members who are at least 21 years of age, in addition to the existing emergency dental care and extractions. 2. It clarifies that monies from the Hospital Assessment Fund cannot be used to provide certain services, including chiropractic services, diabetes outpatient self-management training, and the new preventive dental care coverage. The bill aims to expand the dental services available to AHCCCS members, providing them with access to preventive dental care in addition to emergency and extraction services.
