What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under this bill: 1) an insurer that offers a policy or plan that provides coverage

for dental and related services may not require a dentist who provides services under

the policy or plan to provide a service to an enrollee of the plan at a fee set by the

insurer if the service is not covered under the policy or plan (noncovered service); 2)

an administrator providing third-party administration services or a provider

network for a plan that provides coverage for dental and related services may not

require any dentist in the administrator's provider network to charge set fees for

noncovered services provided to enrollees of the plan; and 3) a dentist who provides

services to enrollees of a policy or plan that provides coverage for dental and related

services may not charge an enrollee more than the dentist's usual nondiscounted fee

for a noncovered service.
