A bill for an act relating to reimbursement rates under the Medicaid dental wellness plan for adults.

HF 739 requires Iowa's Medicaid dental plan contractors to set payment rates for dental providers equal to those paid under the Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa (Hawki) program for children. This change directly affects dental providers who treat Medicaid-eligible adults in Iowa, aiming to increase their participation in the Medicaid dental wellness plan. The bill mandates that reimbursement rates for adult dental services align with Hawki rates to improve access to dental care for Medicaid members. The goal is to address current low provider participation by making the Medicaid dental program more financially attractive.
