AI Summary

This bill amends the Illinois Public Aid Code to increase reimbursement rates for dental services for children by 50% starting January 1, 2026. Specifically, the bill will raise the rates for all dental services provided to children above the rates that were in effect on December 31, 2025. This means that dentists who provide services to children covered by Medicaid will receive significantly higher payments for their services beginning in 2026. The bill aims to potentially improve access to dental care for children by making it more financially attractive for dental providers to treat Medicaid-enrolled patients. The increase applies to all types of dental services for children, which could include preventive care, treatments, and procedures performed by licensed dentists.
