Requires Medicaid to cover dental care for adults across the U.S.
This bill would require state Medicaid programs to cover comprehensive dental and oral health services for adults aged 21 and older. It would also provide 100% federal funding for these services for three years, starting in 2027, and create new ways to measure the quality of adult dental care.
Today, Medicaid does not require states to cover comprehensive dental and oral health services for adults, and federal funding for any such services is at standard rates. After this bill, states would be required to provide comprehensive adult dental care for adults 21 and older, including dentures and implants. The federal government would cover 100% of these costs for three years, starting January 1, 2027. New quality measures and outreach programs would also be put in place.
