To amend title XVIII of the Social Security Act to provide for coverage of dental services under the Medicare program.
This bill, HB9832, aims to change Medicare by adding coverage for dental services. If passed, it would allow people who are on Medicare to get dental care covered under their benefits. This would affect millions of seniors and disabled individuals who currently do not have dental coverage under Medicare.
The bill was introduced on July 22, 2026, and it has been referred to two committees for further review. These committees are the Committee on Energy and Commerce and the Committee on Ways and Means. The committees will examine the bill and decide if it should move forward in the legislative process.
As of now, the bill is still in its early stages. Key actions include its introduction and referral to the appropriate committees. Future steps will involve the committees reviewing the bill, holding hearings, and possibly making changes before it can be voted on by the full House.
