Bill > HF90

This bill modifies Minnesota's medical assistance (Medicaid) dental service coverage by adding pediatric zirconia crowns as a covered dental service for children. The bill amends an existing statute that outlines dental services covered under medical assistance, expanding the current list of covered services. Specifically, the bill adds pediatric zirconia crowns as a new covered service in addition to existing dental treatments like fillings, sealants, fluoride varnish, house calls, behavioral management, sedation, and prophylaxis. The bill maintains existing provisions that limit certain services (such as prophylaxis to four times per year) and continues the requirement that dental services be medically necessary. By explicitly including pediatric zirconia crowns, the bill ensures that children on medical assistance can receive this type of dental crown treatment, potentially improving access to comprehensive dental care for pediatric patients in Minnesota.
