Dental Insurance Reforms Continue to Pass in the States
- by AGD Washington Advocacy Representative
- Jul 25, 2024
Maryland passed legislation to improve prior authorization. Tennessee passed a bill on virtual credit cards and on bundling and downcoding. Indiana passed an assignment of benefits and third-party networking leasing bill. Wisconsin also passed an assignment of benefits law.
Louisiana, Virginia and Rhode Island passed laws requiring insurers to report their dental loss ratios. These laws do not have the required percentages and do not force insurers to return excess premiums to policyholders like was passed in Massachusetts.
Impact on General Dentistry: Insurance reform will continue to be a main focus of AGD’s advocacy at the state level going into the 2025 session. MLR, virtual credit cards, downcoding and bundling, assignment of benefits, third party network leasing and other insurance issues help the general dentist in their relationship with insurers.
