Bill > H0097

This bill extends the period during which a healthcare provider remains an agent of the state after a patient is found ineligible for services, specifically for 30 days to allow for a transition to other care. It also requires contracts with governmental contractors for healthcare services to include a provision allowing patients to voluntarily contribute towards the cost of dental laboratory work, with the contribution not exceeding the actual cost. Additionally, the bill delays the repeal of provisions that authorize a "health access dental license," a special license for dentists, from January 1, 2020, to a later date, ensuring that any such licenses issued before the original repeal date remain valid.
