Bill overview
This bill, H.1401, aims to improve access to dental care for individuals enrolled in MassHealth, the state’s Medicaid program. It seeks to address current limitations in the number of dental providers accepting MassHealth patients, ultimately increasing the availability of oral healthcare services for low-income residents. The bill’s specific mechanisms for achieving this goal are still under consideration by the Health Care Financing Committee. It is similar to previous legislation proposing similar improvements.
