Section 501 of CHIPRA 2009 amends XXI and requires that "child health assistance provided to a targeted low-income child shall include coverage of dental services necessary to prevent disease and promote oral health, restore oral structures to health and function, and treat emergency conditions." States that provide coverage in a separate CHIP program may choose between two methods of providing the dental services required in Section 501. The State may define the services in the dental benefit package and demonstrate that it includes all of the required services. Alternatively, the State may provide a dental benefit package that is equivalent to one of the three benchmark packages described in the statute. In order to implement one of these options and comply with the statute, States must amend their State Plan using Enclosure #1.
