Bill > HB05581

This bill aims to amend Title 17b of the general statutes to increase Medicaid reimbursement rates for dental care services. Medicaid is a government-provided health insurance program for low-income individuals and families. The primary goal of the bill is to address potential shortages of dental care providers who serve Medicaid recipients by offering more competitive compensation rates. By increasing the reimbursement rates, the legislation seeks to make it more financially attractive for dental professionals to accept Medicaid patients, thereby expanding access to dental care for those who rely on this government health insurance program. The bill recognizes that adequate provider compensation is crucial for maintaining a robust and accessible dental care network for Medicaid beneficiaries.
