Bill > HB05115

This bill allows nonprofit organizations, charitable clinics, and other health entities approved by the Department of Public Health to accept payments, insurance reimbursements, or monetary donations for dental services provided by retired dentists who are volunteering their time. The key purpose of this legislation is to create a mechanism that encourages retired dentists to continue practicing dentistry in charitable settings while enabling the organizations they serve to receive financial compensation for the services. By permitting these organizations to collect reimbursements or donations for volunteer dental work, the bill aims to support the operations of nonprofit and charitable healthcare providers and increase access to dental services for patients who might otherwise face financial barriers to care. This approach provides a financial incentive for retired dentists to continue using their professional skills in community service roles and helps sustain the operations of organizations providing essential healthcare services.
