Summary: The bill amends Section 5-31.1-39 of the General Laws concerning public health dental hygienists. It allows public health hygienists to seek reimbursement from "other insurance" or third-party payors, including Medicare, which was previously restricted. The language "but shall not" has been deleted, and "and may" has been inserted to clarify this change. The act is set to take effect upon passage.
