The Arizona Senate recently passed a bill to expand the state’s adult Medicaid coverage to include comprehensive dental benefits.
Three notes:
1. The Arizona Medicaid program currently only covers emergency dental services for adults.
2. If the bill is passed, Medicaid contractors would be required to provide a maximum annual coverage amount of $1,000 per adult.
3. The bill was introduced in February, and was passed by the Senate earlier this month with a 24-3 vote.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
