(2) Diagnostic, restorative, and endodontic procedures, to a maximum of $1,000.00 per calendar year, provided that the Department of Vermont Health Access may approve expenditures in excess of that amount when exceptional medical circumstances so require.
(3) Other dental services as determined by the Department by rule.
