Increasing dental coverage limit for Medicaid enrollees

This bill increases the annual dental coverage limit for West Virginia Medicaid enrollees aged 21 and older from an unspecified amount to $2,000 per year. It covers diagnostic/preventative services (like cleanings and x-rays) and restorative services (like fillings and crowns), but excludes cosmetic procedures such as teeth whitening or veneers. The bill requires managed care organizations to provide quarterly education to enrollees about dental benefits starting July 2025, and mandates annual reports to the legislature on program usage, provider participation, and service types. The Bureau for Medical Services must also base West Virginia dental rates on national averages by July 2025.
