Summary

Before October 1, 2020, Delaware was 1 of only 3 states that did not offer some form of adult dental coverage through Medicaid. With the enactment of Senate Substitute No. 1 for Senate Bill 92 (150th General Assembly) (Chapter 187 of Volume 82 of the Laws of Delaware) and Senate Bill No. 237 (150th General Assembly) (Chapter 290 of Volume 82 of the Laws of Delaware), Delaware began providing dental care benefits to eligible Medicaid recipients in an amount not to exceed $1,000 per year, with the potential for an additional $1,500 per year for emergency care with the approval of the Department of Health and Social Services ("Department"). This Act streamlines the Medicaid Adult Dental benefit by consolidating the emergency and non-emergency benefits into a single benefit of $2,500.
