This bill amends the Human Services Code to enhance the reimbursement process for medical assistance items and services, specifically for recipients aged twenty-one and older. It establishes a single benefit package for pharmacy services and introduces a new benefit package for dental services. The Department of Human Services is tasked with revising the dental benefit package and publishing the details in the Pennsylvania Bulletin. The bill also allows for the inclusion of additional dental services beyond those previously provided, contingent on available funding and necessary federal approvals.

Additionally, the bill abrogates any existing regulations that conflict with its provisions, ensuring a streamlined approach to implementing these changes. If a federal waiver or state plan amendment is approved, the Secretary of Human Services is required to notify the Legislative Reference Bureau for publication. The act is set to take effect immediately, with specific provisions regarding the abrogation of regulations taking effect following the publication of the necessary notice.
