Bill Summary
Relative to establishing a grants program to increase dental services to Medicaid eligible patients. Health Care Financing.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a grant program, funded by an appropriation of at least $750,000, to increase dental services for patients eligible for MassHealth or Medicaid, which are government-funded health insurance programs for low-income individuals. The grants will be awarded competitively to non-profit dental providers who can demonstrate that more than half of their patients are MassHealth or Medicaid eligible, with a limit of $250,000 per service area. These grants are intended to cover the costs of establishing provider services and can be renewed if the providers meet certain service goals set by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
