To amend title 10, United States Code, to authorize coverage for anesthesia and other costs related to dental care for children and certain other patients.
Summary
H.R. 5050 would expand military healthcare benefits to cover anesthesia and hospital costs associated with dental procedures for specific groups of dependents. This coverage would apply to children aged five and under, as well as individuals with physical, mental, or developmental disabilities who are spouses or children of active-duty service members. By including these institutional and anesthesia services under Department of Defense medical care, the bill aims to reduce the financial burden on military families when a dependent requires specialized support for dental treatment.
