An Act relating to direct health care agreements; relating to dental health care insurance plans and dental loss ratios; and providing for an effective date.

Summary

The bill allows dentists and primary‑care providers to contract directly with patients for dental or basic health services, but bars patients who receive state medical assistance from such agreements. Each agreement must be written and list the services, periodic fee, fee period, any extra charges, and contact information for complaints or changes, and must state that the patient does not get the protections of AS 21.07. It also obligates dental insurers to submit loss‑ratio reports.
