Eliminating Annual and Lifetime Dental Limits for Children in CHIP.
This bill removes annual and lifetime dollar limits on dental services for children covered by the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It also mandates that states must offer comprehensive supplemental dental coverage for certain children under the program. This ensures that low-income children receive necessary dental care without financial caps restricting treatment.
Key points
No More Limits: States cannot impose annual or lifetime dollar limits on dental benefits for children enrolled in CHIP.
Mandatory Supplemental Coverage: States are now required to offer comprehensive supplemental dental coverage (wraparound coverage) for specific children under CHIP.
Improved Access: Guarantees that medically necessary dental care for eligible children will be fully covered, improving oral health outcomes.
