Bill Summary
An Act ENROLLED SENATE BILL NO. 1942 By: Thompson, Gillespie, Grellner, Daniels, and McIntosh of the Senate and Moore, Stinson, Pae, Grego, Schreiber, Hasenbeck, and Caldwell (Trey) of the House An Act relating to dental insurance claims; amending 36 O.S. 2021, Section 7301, which relates to dental plan fee regulation; modifying definition; and providing an effective date. SUBJECT: Dental insurance
AI Summary
This bill modifies the definition of "covered services" within Oklahoma's dental plan fee regulation laws, specifically concerning dental insurance claims. Previously, "covered services" meant services that were reimbursable under a subscriber agreement, subject to limitations like deductibles or waiting periods. This bill changes that to mean services that are reimbursed under the subscriber agreement, *regardless* of those contractual limitations. This means that even if a service has a deductible or a waiting period, it will still be considered a "covered service" for the purposes of this law, potentially impacting how dental plans can set fees for dentists. The bill also specifies an effective date of November 1, 2026.
