MI SB0105

Health plans and nonprofit dental care corporations providing dental benefits must offer at least one payment or reimbursement method that gives dentists 100% of the amount payable without requiring the dentist to pay a fee to access the funds

Fees imposed by a dentist's own financial institution are exempt from this requirement

If a dentist opts out of a payment method, that decision remains in effect until the dentist chooses to opt back in or a new contract is executed

Applies to dental benefits policies delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in Michigan after the act's effective date
