Bill > H966

This bill aims to provide equal and fair access to affordable dental care for all patients. The key provisions of the bill are: 1. It allows 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. 2. It prohibits dental insurance companies from charging a fee or providing a reimbursement to a dentist for dental services rendered to a patient covered by an insurance policy offered by that dental insurance company based on the fees charged and reimbursements provided under a different policy offered by another dental insurance company, MassHealth, or any other contract between the individual patient and the dentist. 3. It specifies that no dentist shall be liable to a dental insurance company for costs resulting from fees charged or reimbursements provided by that dental insurance company to the dentist for dental services rendered if the fees or reimbursements were based on the fees charged and reimbursements provided under a different policy offered by another dental insurance company, MassHealth, or any other contract between the individual patient and the dentist.
