AHCCCS; teledentistry; report

SB 1335 requires Arizona's Medicaid program (AHCCCS) to provide teledentistry services to enrolled members under 21 years old. It directly affects low-income Arizona children and teens covered by AHCCCS who need dental care. The bill mandates that the AHCCCS director annually report to state leadership by December 31 on the number of under-21 members who received these remote dental services. This report includes the total count of enrolled minors using teledentistry in the previous year. The law aims to improve access to dental care for young Medicaid members through remote consultations.
