Bill Summary
For legislation relative to the enhanced management of early childhood caries among MassHealth patients. Public Health.
AI Summary
This bill requires the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) to design a pilot program for the enhanced management of early childhood cavities (also known as early childhood caries or ECC) among MassHealth patients. EOHHS will consult with researchers involved in the ECC Management Demonstration Project to establish criteria for identifying high-risk patients under 5 years old and the appropriate treatments to be covered by MassHealth, such as more frequent preventive visits, fluoride treatments, family education, and self-management support. The bill sets a timeline for EOHHS to release a request for proposals, select provider participants, and launch the pilot program. The selected providers must submit data on costs, incidence of cavities, pain experience, and referrals for operating room procedures, which EOHHS will compile into a report to be released by February 2021.
