MS HB420

Amends Section 83-51-31 of Mississippi Code to extend the repealer date on prohibition against certain contract provisions between health care entities offering dental plans and dentists.

Prohibits health care entities from requiring dentists to provide services at entity-set fees unless those services are covered under the subscriber agreement.

Defines "covered services" as services reimbursable under the subscriber agreement, regardless of deductibles, waiting periods, or frequency limitations.

Defines "dental plan" as insurance policies issued by health care entities that provide dental service coverage separate from medical plans.

Extends the repeal date of these provisions from July 1, 2012 to July 1, 2015.
