Maine Gov. Janet Mills signed legislation April 15 that increases the reimbursement rate for general anesthesia given during dental procedures.
The law increases the reimbursement rate from $151 to $203 for every 15 minutes a patient is under general anesthesia.
A previous version of the bill would have only updated the reimbursement rates for dental services requiring deep sedation or general anesthesia when those services are provided to a pediatric patient at an ASC.
