|
The bill includes
a one-time General Fund appropriation to the Department of Health and Human
Services of $6,750 and a Federal Expenditures Fund allocation of $20,250 in
fiscal year 2015-16 for technology changes to MIHMS to change the
Point-of-Sale application that pays for prescriptions at a pharmacy and OIT
oversight for vendor change management. There could also be additional claims
to MaineCare. It is currently unknown how many patients would receive this
service from a Dental Hygienist who had not received it in the past from a
dentist. |
|
Additional costs
to the Board of Dental Examiners affiliated with the Department of
Professional and Financial Regulation to amend its rules to include the
requirements of this legislation can be absorbed within existing budgeted
resources. |
