Bill > SF1984

This bill regulates prepayments for dental services by amending Minnesota's dental practice statutes, specifically prohibiting dentists or dental practices from requiring patients to prepay for dental treatment plans that will take more than 90 days to complete. Under this proposed legislation, when a dental treatment plan is expected to span over 90 days, dentists must allow patients to pay for the services in at least two installments, with each payment due at least 30 days apart. This provision aims to make dental care more financially accessible by preventing upfront full payment requirements for extended treatment plans and offering patients more flexible payment options. The bill seeks to protect patients from having to pay the entire cost of a lengthy dental procedure before treatment begins, potentially reducing financial barriers to receiving comprehensive dental care.
