Overview
The Oral Health Equity Act establishes a program to improve access to dental care for uninsured and underinsured residents of New Jersey. It creates an oral health equity program through agreements with community oral health centers, such as federally qualified health centers and hospitals. The program will provide comprehensive dental services, including initial exams, ongoing care, and identification of a ‘dental home,’ while ensuring community centers are adequately reimbursed for their services. The act also requires the Department of Human Services to pursue Medicaid waivers to secure funding.
