CT HB06103

Amends Title 17b of Connecticut general statutes to require equal Medicaid reimbursement rates for dental and dental hygiene services between federally qualified health centers and qualifying safety net providers

Eligible safety net providers must be licensed Connecticut dentists or dental hygienists operating as nonprofits

Providers cannot be affiliated with a hospital or federally qualified health center to qualify for payment parity

At least 40% of the provider's patients must be Medicaid beneficiaries to qualify under the new payment structure
