Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding contracts with providers of dental services.

This legislation will clarify current language in Idaho Code that a dental plan contracting with a dentist cannot set the rate for a procedure that is not covered by that contract. The proposed bill further defines that covered services are services that a dental plan contracting with a dentist is liable for paying either in part or in whole. The bill provides for discussion and notice between a dentist and patient when the patient's services become non-covered services due to the patient exceeding their capped benefit by 100 percent. The bill will apply to any dental plan or contract which is issued after December 31, 2019.
