05/29/2026 Scheduled for consideration (06/02/2026)
Summary
The bill adds rules that prevent dental plans or other healthcare entities from forcing dentists to accept only payment methods that charge the dentist a fee, such as virtual credit cards. Dentists must be informed of alternative methods, receive clear instructions, and give explicit written consent before any fee‑based method can be used. It also bars any fees for accessing payment or claims data.
