AHCCCS; preventive dental care

HB 2542 adds "preventive dental care" to the list of covered services under Arizona's AHCCCS (Medicaid) program for enrollees aged 21 and older. The bill explicitly includes routine preventive dental services alongside existing emergency dental care and extractions, which remain capped at $1,000 annually per member. This change directly affects AHCCCS recipients aged 21+ by expanding their covered dental benefits to include preventive care like cleanings and check-ups. The bill does not alter existing coverage limits for other services or create new funding requirements.
