Emergency preamble.  Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not 
become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas, ambulatory surgical centers provide cost-effective, high-quality health 
care; and
Whereas, only one freestanding ambulatory surgical center in Maine deals with facial 
and oral surgery; and
Whereas, the current MaineCare reimbursement rate is inadequate to cover such 
procedures; and
Whereas, without an increase in the reimbursement rate, the center will stop accepting 
MaineCare patients; and
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within 
the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as 
immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, 
therefore, be it
Sec. 1.  Department of Health and Human Services to increase MaineCare 
rate for certain dental procedures performed by freestanding ambulatory 
surgical centers.  Resolved:  That the Department of Health and Human Services shall 
amend its reimbursement rate under the MaineCare program for dental code 41899 to 
$1,250 per procedure for freestanding ambulatory surgical centers performing procedures 
on the dentoalveolar structure.  Rules adopted pursuant to this section are routine technical 
rules as defined in the Maine Revised Statutes, Title 5, chapter 375, subchapter 2-A.
Emergency clause.  In view of the emergency cited in the preamble, this legislation 
takes effect when approved.
SUMMARY
This resolve directs the Department of Health and Human Services to amend its 
reimbursement rate under the MaineCare program for dental code 41899 to $1,250 for 
freestanding ambulatory surgical centers performing procedures on the dentoalveolar 
structure.

Emergency preamble.  Whereas, acts and resolves of the Legislature do not 
become effective until 90 days after adjournment unless enacted as emergencies; and
Whereas, current law requires a dental hygienist who is a dental therapist to provide 
verification of a current advanced cardiac life support certification; and
Whereas, this certification, which is not required for a dentist, is a barrier to licensing 
dental therapists seeking to work in the State and should be eliminated as soon as possible; 
and
Whereas, in the judgment of the Legislature, these facts create an emergency within 
the meaning of the Constitution of Maine and require the following legislation as 
immediately necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health and safety; now, 
therefore,

Sec. 1.  32 MRSA §18345, sub-§2, ¶C, as amended by PL 2019, c. 388, §7, is 
further amended in subparagraph (4) by amending the first blocked paragraph to read:
For purposes of meeting the clinical requirements of this subparagraph, an

included, as long as the applicant was operating lawfully under the laws and rules 
of that state or province; and
Sec. 2.  32 MRSA §18345, sub-§2, ¶C, as amended by PL 2019, c. 388, §7, is 
further amended by amending subparagraph (5) to read:
(5)  A copy of the written practice agreement and standing orders required by 
section 18377, subsection 3; and.
Sec. 3.  32 MRSA §18345, sub-§2, ¶C, as amended by PL 2019, c. 388, §7, is 
further amended by repealing subparagraph (6).
Sec. 4.  32 MRSA §18345, sub-§2, ¶F, as amended by PL 2019, c. 388, §7, is 
further amended by amending subparagraph (1) to read:
