Ends dental care dollar limits for low-income kids and pregnant women on CHIP
This bill would stop states from putting dollar limits on dental care for low-income children and pregnant women covered by the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It would also require states to offer extra dental-only coverage for certain kids, ensuring more access to necessary care. These changes would take effect six months after the bill becomes law.
Today, states can set dollar limits on dental benefits for children and pregnant women covered by CHIP, and they have the choice to offer dental-only supplemental coverage. If this bill becomes law, states would be banned from setting those dollar limits. They would also be required to offer dental-only supplemental coverage for certain children, making it a mandatory part of their CHIP program.
