What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

This bill allows an individual insured under a health benefit plan that includes

coverage of dental services to assign reimbursement for dental and related services

directly to a dental provider. If reimbursement for dental care is assigned to a

provider of dental care, the bill requires the insurer to directly pay the provider the

amount of any claim under the same criteria and payment schedule under which it

would have reimbursed the insured.
