Bill Summary
Relative to financial services contracts for dental benefits' corporations. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill amends various sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to prohibit dental benefits corporations, dental service corporations, health maintenance organizations, and preferred provider arrangements from requiring registered dentists to provide dental services to covered persons at a particular fee unless those services are "covered services." The term "covered services" is defined as dental services for which reimbursement is available, or would be available but for the application of contractual limitations such as deductibles, copayments, coinsurance, waiting periods, annual or lifetime maximums, frequency limitations, age limitations, or alternative benefit payments.
