HF 660 Iowa House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to coverage of treatment for congenital dental abnormalities under the Medicaid program.

HF 660 requires Iowa's Medicaid program to cover dental treatment for children with specific genetic dental conditions under the "Dental Wellness Plan Kids." It directly affects Medicaid-eligible children in Iowa diagnosed with conditions like cleft lip/palate, missing teeth (anodontia/hypodontia), enamel defects (amelogenesis imperfecta), or other genetic mouth abnormalities causing oral health issues. The bill defines covered "congenital dental abnormalities" to include conditions such as supernumerary teeth, misaligned bites (malocclusion), and gum diseases originating from genetic factors. The Department of Health and Human Services must implement this coverage requirement within the existing Medicaid dental plan.
