Which act mandates coverage for pediatric dental services by insurance companies?

The Affordable Care Act (ACA) mandates coverage for pediatric dental services as part of the Essential Health Benefits. This legislation ensures that dental care for children is viewed as an important aspect of overall health care, requiring insurers to provide coverage for this category of services in their health plans.

By including pediatric dental care under the ACA, the law reflects the understanding that oral health is crucial for a child's development and well-being. Insurers are thus obligated to include these services to make them accessible to families, helping to reduce financial barriers to essential dental care for children.

The other options, while they may address health care or children's needs in various ways, do not specifically mandate pediatric dental coverage in the same way the Affordable Care Act does.
