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).

This ensures that low-income children receive necessary dental care without financial caps restricting treatment.
