Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The purpose of this bill is to require health benefit plan coverage for medically necessary dental procedures that result from cancer treatment; create the Oral Health and Cancer Rights Act; explain the scope of procedures covered as a result of certain cancer treatments; and require the use of a specific billing identifier.
The Department anticipates no fiscal impact from this legislation as the services are already covered under emergency dental or other services not classified as dental such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.
