Illinois HB1439 prohibits insurers and dental service plans from denying coverage for tooth replacement based on prior extractions.
HB1439 amends the Illinois Insurance Code, the Dental Care Patient Protection Act, and the Dental Service Plan Act to ensure no insurer, dental service plan corporation, or related entity can deny coverage for tooth replacement if the teeth were extracted or lost before the person became insured. This applies to individual or group policies of accident and health insurance that include dental coverage, managed care dental plans, and point-of-service plans.
