AI Summary
This bill amends the State and School Employees Health Insurance Plan in Mississippi to include coverage for prosthetic teeth and permanent dental implants for children diagnosed with oligodontia, a condition characterized by the congenital absence of six or more teeth. Previously, the plan excluded most dental care, with exceptions only for damage from accidental injury or disease, but this change specifically adds coverage for these essential dental prosthetics for children with this particular condition. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2026.
