Requirements for dental administrator rates modified in the medical assistance and MinnesotaCare programs, dental administrator contract dates changed, critical access dental provider task force established, and report required.

HF 1934 modifies how dental services are administered for MinnesotaCare and medical assistance recipients. It changes the start date for a new dental administrator contract from 2026 to 2030, requires the dental administrator to meet a 55% annual dental visit rate for continuously enrolled members by 2032, and establishes a task force to assess impacts on critical access dental providers. The task force must evaluate financial effects on providers, access to care, and disruptions to integrated medical-dental services. This bill directly affects dental administrators, critical access dental providers, and patients enrolled in MinnesotaCare or medical assistance programs.
