Medical assistance reimbursement rates for dental services and critical access dental providers modified.

This bill adjusts medical assistance reimbursement rates for dental services in Minnesota and provides additional funding for critical access dental providers. It establishes specific payment increases for different service types and provider categories, including higher rates for rural areas, children under 21, and state-operated dental clinics. The legislation also requires managed care plans to reimburse providers at rates equal to or greater than fee-for-service amounts for covered dental services. These changes directly affect dental providers, managed care organizations, and MinnesotaCare recipients by modifying how much they are paid for dental care.
