The bill mandates the Arkansas Medicaid Program to enhance reimbursement rates for specific dental services, particularly focusing on oral and maxillofacial surgery, pediatric dental care, and dental services for adults with special needs. Starting September 1, 2025, these reimbursement rates will be adjusted to sixty percent of the fiftieth percentile for national fees, as determined by the National Dental Advisory Service Comprehensive Fee Report.

Additionally, the bill establishes an annual reimbursement cap for dental services for adults with special needs, increasing it from five hundred dollars to one thousand dollars, effective September 1, 2025. The Department of Human Services is tasked with applying for any necessary federal waivers or amendments to implement these changes.
