Ensuring Kids Have Access to Medically Necessary Dental Care Act
This bill, titled the Ensuring Kids Have Access to Medically Necessary Dental Care Act, modifies the Children's Health Insurance Program to improve dental coverage for low-income children and pregnant women. It prohibits states from setting lifetime or annual dollar limits on dental benefits for eligible children and pregnant women receiving assistance. Additionally, the law requires states to provide dental-only supplemental coverage to certain children without offering them less favorable terms than those available to children receiving full dental benefits. These changes take effect six months after the bill is enacted.
