Pediatric zirconia crowns inclusion in dental service coverage modification

This bill modifies Minnesota's medical assistance dental coverage to include pediatric zirconia crowns for children as a covered service. It directly affects children enrolled in Minnesota's medical assistance program (like Medicaid) who require dental crowns for medically necessary treatment. The key change adds "pediatric zirconia crowns" to the list of covered dental services under section 256B.0625, ensuring these crowns are paid for without prior authorization. The bill also prohibits managed care plans from requiring prior approval for this specific service when provided through designated programs. This is a straightforward policy change expanding coverage for a specific dental treatment.
