The bill requires the department of health and human services to require any Medicaid dental plan contractor for the Medicaid dental wellness plan for adults to align reimbursement rates for dental providers with the reimbursement rates for dental providers under the healthy and well kids in Iowa (Hawki) program to maximize dental provider participation in and member access to dental services.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Iowa Department of Health and Human Services to mandate that Medicaid dental plan contractors align their reimbursement rates for dental providers with the rates used in the Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa (Hawki) program. The goal of this alignment is to increase dental provider participation and improve access to dental services for adult Medicaid members under the Medicaid dental wellness plan. By matching the reimbursement rates between the Medicaid dental wellness plan for adults and the Hawki program, the bill aims to make it more financially attractive for dental providers to serve Medicaid patients, potentially addressing potential gaps in dental care access for adults enrolled in Medicaid.
