An Act amending the act of May 17, 1921 (P.L.682, No.284), known as The Insurance Company Law of 1921, in comprehensive health care for uninsured children, further providing for contracts and coverage packages and providing for frenectomy services required.
HB 1284 amends Pennsylvania's Insurance Company Law of 1921 to expand dental coverage for uninsured children. The bill requires that frenectomies and other surgical procedures to treat lip-ties or tongue-ties be included as part of the minimum emergency, preventive, and routine dental care package for eligible children. It also mandates that dental providers contracting with insurers for these services offer frenectomies as a covered routine dental service. This legislation directly affects uninsured children receiving care through state contracts and the dental providers who serve them.
