DMAS; teledentistry pilot program. Directs the Department of Medical Assistance Services to create a two-year pilot program to provide dental services to school-age children who are eligible to receive pediatric dental services through the Smiles for Children program in school divisions in which at least 50 percent of the elementary students have not been examined by a dentist within the preceding 12 months or have no dental home of record. Participating dentists will provide supervision of dental hygienists through the use of teledentistry. The bill further directs the Department to report to the Secretary of Health and Human Services and the Chairmen of the House Appropriations and Senate Finance committees on the benefits of teledentistry by November 1, 2016. The pilot program would expire on July 1, 2017. The provisions of the bill are contingent on funding in a 2014 general appropriation act.

Teledentistry pilot program; Department of Medical Assistance Services to create, report.
