Important update for MassHealth patients
Starting in July, the State is proposing a $1,000 annual cap on adult MassHeath dental treatment.
Right now, there is no yearly dollar cap—only certain limitations. Under this proposal, $1,000 would have to cover all dental care for the entire year. For many patients, that may not even cover a single crown or a few necessary procedures.
A Massachusetts dentist in a recent news interview explained this could force patients to “choose one tooth over another” instead of receiving complete care.
At Mova Dental, we see every day how important this coverage is for our community. Limiting benefits could lead to more pain, more emergencies, and higher long-term costs.
