Single dental administrator implementation delayed for the medical assistance program.

This bill delays the start of a single dental administrator program for Minnesota's medical assistance recipients from 2028 to 2030. The legislation amends state statutes to postpone the hiring of a contractor who would manage provider recruitment, claims processing, and quality improvement for dental services. Additionally, the bill updates the timeline for annual reports on dental service usage, shifting the end date of the reporting period from 2026 to 2028. These changes affect the Department of Human Services and the individuals receiving medical assistance or MinnesotaCare coverage in the state.
