Bill > SB1347

This bill amends the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) provisions related to dental services for adults. Specifically, the bill changes the existing language about dental coverage for individuals 21 years and older from "emergency dental care and extractions" to "comprehensive dental care" with an annual limit of $1,000 per member. The bill also makes a minor technical change regarding the hospital assessment fund, clarifying that monies from this fund cannot be used to provide certain specific medical services like chiropractic services and diabetes outpatient self-management training. The comprehensive dental care provision aims to expand dental coverage beyond just emergency treatments, potentially allowing for more preventive and restorative dental procedures for adult AHCCCS members. The $1,000 annual limit remains unchanged from the previous version of the law, ensuring that members have access to a significant amount of dental care while maintaining fiscal constraints.
