Section 501 of CHIPRA requires the
Secretary to work with States, pediatric dentists, and other dental
providers to include, no later than August 4, 2009, on the Insure
Kids Now (IKN) website (http://www.insurekidsnow.gov/) and hotline
(1-877-KIDS-NOW), a "current and accurate list of all such dentists
and providers within each State that provide dental services to
children enrolled in the State plan (or waiver) under Medicaid or
the State child health plan (or waiver) under CHIP. Section 501
also requires the Secretary shall ensure that such a list is
updated at least quarterly and includes a description of the dental
services provided under Medicaid or CHIP, whether the services are
provided through a state plan or a waiver. The Secretary shall also
post on the IKN website State specific information on available
dental benefits. CMS is working closely with the Health Resources
Services Administration (HRSA), which administers the IKN website,
to implement this provision of CHIPRA within the statutory deadline
of August 4, 2009, 6 months after the February 4, 2009 date of
enactment. This PRA request is to allow the States to begin to
collect the information on the dental providers and dental benefits
in accordance with CHIPRA.
