Health Insurance and Dental Plan Organizations - Dentists - Assignment of Benefits and Reimbursement of Nonpreferred Providers

Summary

The bill prohibits health insurers and dental plan organizations from preventing an insured or enrollee from assigning benefits to a dentist, even if the dentist is not in the plan’s preferred network. It also requires nonpreferred dentists who seek such assignments to give patients clear cost and billing information before treatment and to submit a disclosure form to the insurer. The goal is to give patients more control over payment and to increase transparency in dental billing.
