Relative to financial services contracts for dental benefits corporations. Financial Services.
AI Summary
This bill amends several sections of the Massachusetts General Laws to prohibit dental benefits corporations from requiring dentists to provide services to covered individuals at a particular fee unless those services are covered by the applicable insurance policy. The bill also prohibits dental benefits corporations from enforcing such fee requirements outside of the provider agreement with the dentist through changes in the corporation's policies and procedures. The bill requires that fees for covered services be set in good faith and not be nominal.
