SB1037 is a bill that proposes to expand dental coverage under the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) for members aged 21 and older. The current law provides for emergency dental care and extractions with an annual cap of $1,000 per member. The new bill seeks to replace "emergency dental care and extractions" with "comprehensive dental care," maintaining the same annual cap. Additionally, the bill removes dentures from the list of excluded prosthetic devices, meaning that dentures would now be covered under AHCCCS for eligible members. The bill includes technical and conforming changes and would take effect on the general effective date.
