Clarification of Dental Caps

Ms. Friedman moved that the proposed new text be amended in section 42, by striking out subsection (b) and inserting in place thereof the following subsection:-

“(b) Notwithstanding any general or special law to the contrary, beginning in fiscal year 2027, the executive office of health and human services may impose caps on its coverage of dental services for adults on a per patient basis or in aggregate inclusive of changes, exclusions or limitations required to meet said cap; provided, that no coverage cap, change, exclusion or limitation shall result in any cap of less than $1,750 on covered services for adults.”
