Ends dental coverage limits for low-income kids and pregnant women on the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
This bill would end lifetime and annual dollar limits on dental benefits for low-income children and pregnant women covered by the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It would also require states to offer supplemental dental coverage for certain children. These changes aim to ensure more comprehensive dental care access for low-income children and pregnant women.
Today, states can set yearly or lifetime dollar limits on dental benefits for low-income children and pregnant women covered by CHIP, and offering supplemental dental coverage is optional for states. If this bill passes, states would be banned from setting these dollar limits and would be required to offer supplemental dental coverage for certain children, ensuring more consistent and comprehensive dental care.
