SD 619 Massachusetts Senate · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to dental benefits for veterans

This bill amends Massachusetts law to explicitly include dental insurance as a covered service under veterans' dental benefits. It directly affects veterans enrolled in the state's dental assistance program by expanding their coverage to include dental insurance costs. The key change modifies existing language to add "dental insurance" to the list of covered items like medical visits, prescriptions, and procedures. The secretary of veterans' services will continue to determine specific covered treatments through regulations.
