| Fiscal Detail
and Notes |
|
|
|
|
|
|
While the bill
requires MaineCare reimburse for advancded dental therapist services, any
increase in MaineCare costs would not likely occur until the following
biennium. The fiscal impact on MaineCare will ultimately depend on the timing
and number of advanced dental therapists licensed in Maine, the type and
volume of services provided and the extent to which these services replace
existing dental services provided. |
|
The Board of
Dental Examiners, affiliated with the Department of Professional and
Financial Regulation, may incur additional costs to implement the process of
creating a new category of dental hygienist authority, the advanced dental
therapists. However, these costs are
not expected to be incurred until future biennia as it is anticipated that it
will take several years before potential candidates become qualified. |
