AI Summary
This bill authorizes health care providers, including general and specialized dentists, to jointly negotiate with insurance carriers regarding non-fee-related matters that may affect patient care, such as utilization management, quality assurance, and contract terms. The bill also allows the Attorney General, upon finding a carrier has substantial market power, to authorize joint negotiations between providers and the carrier on fees and fee-related matters. The bill establishes a process for providers to petition the Attorney General for approval to engage in joint negotiations, and requires the Attorney General to actively supervise and approve the negotiations to ensure they provide benefits that outweigh any potential anti-competitive effects.
