AI Summary
This bill aims to provide equal and fair access to affordable dental care for all patients. It amends the state's laws to allow dentists to enter into contracts with patients or other entities, including dental insurance companies, without restrictions from other dental insurance companies or the policies/contracts between the dentist and another insurance company. It also prohibits dental insurance companies from charging a fee or providing reimbursement to a dentist based on the fees and reimbursements under a different policy offered by another dental insurance company, MassHealth, or a contract between the patient and the dentist. This ensures that dentists are not held liable for costs resulting from fees or reimbursements based on a different policy or contract.
