If this bill were to become law, it would amend the current statutes by adding a requirement for the Director of the Arizona Health Care Cost Containment System (AHCCCS) to submit an annual report. This report would detail the total number of AHCCCS members under the age of 21 who received teledentistry services in the preceding year. The report must be submitted to the Governor, the President of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Representatives, and a copy provided to the Secretary of State by December 31 of each year.

The bill also reinforces the existing mandate that AHCCCS implement teledentistry services for enrolled members under the age of 21, as stated in the current law. Overall, the bill introduces new reporting requirements while maintaining the existing provisions regarding teledentistry services for young members.
