Md. health department to conduct required studies on dental coverage, obesity treatments and more

Staff at the Maryland Department of Health and related agencies said at a recent Maryland Medicaid Advisory Committee meeting that they’re going to have a “busy” interim period as they work to conduct over a dozen new reports and studies prompted by bills that came out of the 2024 legislative session. “A lot of those bills that ended up passing did have a lot of reports as their main components,” Chris Coats, a health policy analyst with the Maryland Department of Health, said Thursday.
