Ky. reinstates Medicaid dental benefits for 460K residents

The administration of Kentucky Gov. Matt Bevin (R) is reinstating Medicaid dental and vision coverage for up to 460,000 residents of that state, according to multiple published reports.

The coverage had been cut earlier in July after a judge in U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia rejected Gov. Bevin's proposed overhaul of that state's Medicaid program. The overhaul would have included an imposition of work requirements and other changes for residents to receive Medicaid benefits.
