Introduced Text

Ohio HB861 prohibits health plans and Medicaid from denying dental claims based on the age of the recipient.

Ohio HB861 amends the state's Revised Code to prohibit health benefit plans and the Medicaid program from denying dental claims solely based on the age of the recipient. This means that neither private health plans nor the Medicaid program can refuse reimbursement or coverage for dental services because of the patient's age. The bill aims to ensure that age does not become a barrier to receiving necessary dental care under these programs.
