Services, to the extent permitted by federal law, shall amend the Medicaid state plan to
provide coverage for general anesthesia, nursing and related hospital services provided
in conjunction with dental services, provided such anesthesia, nursing and related hospital services are provided in conjunction with in-patient dental services if the following
conditions are met:
(2) The patient is either (A) a child under the age of four who is determined by a licensed dentist, in conjunction with a licensed physician who specializes in primary care, to have a dental condition of significant dental complexity that it requires certain dental procedures to be performed in a hospital, or (B) a person who has a developmental disability, as determined by a licensed physician who specializes in primary care, that places the person at serious risk. The expense of such anesthesia, nursing and related hospital services shall be deemed a medical expense under such health insurance policy and shall not be subject to any limits on dental benefits under such policy.
