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.
