Introduced·2/24/25

Dental and Optometric Care Access Act of 2025 aims to enhance health care coverage under vision and dental plans.

The Dental and Optometric Care Access Act of 2025 amends the Public Health Service Act to improve health care coverage under vision and dental plans. It allows doctors of optometry, dental surgery, and dental medicine to charge enrollees for uncovered services within their scope of practice. The act also permits the extension of agreements for limited scope dental or vision benefits beyond two years, subject to prior acceptance. State laws directly affecting health insurance issuers and dental or vision benefit plans retain exclusive jurisdiction.
