Bill > H1124

This bill requires dental benefit plans in Massachusetts to allow policyholders to directly assign their benefits to non-participating dental providers, as long as the provider meets the plan's credentialing criteria. The bill specifies that the amount paid to the non-participating provider must be at least equal to the amount paid to in-network providers. The bill also grants the plan the right to review the records of the non-participating provider related to the specific patient to ensure the services were rendered. The bill exempts certain types of limited insurance policies from this requirement, such as disability income, accident-only, and long-term care policies.
