SF 327 Iowa Senate · 2025-2026 Regular Session

A bill for an act relating to dental provider reimbursement under the dental wellness plan and the dental wellness plan kids.

SF 327 aligns reimbursement rates for dental providers participating in Iowa's Dental Wellness Plan and Dental Wellness Plan Kids with the Healthy and Well Kids in Iowa (Hawki) program. It requires providers to be paid at the higher of either the usual, customary, and reasonable fee percentage or the commercial dental insurance billing percentage. This change aims to increase provider participation and improve access for plan members by making reimbursement rates more competitive. The bill directly affects dentists and dental practices enrolled in these specific Medicaid programs.
