New York S03942 mandates that at least 80% of state funds for dental services must be spent on actual dental care, not administrative costs.

New York S03942 amends the public health law and the social services law to ensure that approved organizations and managed care providers spend at least 80% of state funds for dental services on actual dental care. If less than 80% is spent on dental services, the difference must be returned to the department. Additionally, no more than 20% of these funds can be used for administrative services instead of dental services. This bill affects dental service providers under the Medicaid managed care program, the Child Health Insurance Program, and the Family Health Plus Program.
