Relating to: prior authorization for treatment of severe misalignment or malocclusion of teeth under health insurance policies and plans.

Summary

The bill adds new rules that health insurance, self‑insured, and nonprofit health plans must follow when deciding whether to cover treatment for severe tooth misalignment or malocclusion. Plans can no longer rely solely on the Salzmann Evaluation Index to approve or deny such care. The change aims to ensure broader access to orthodontic treatment under health coverage.
