SB192

Louisiana SB192 sets rules for dental reimbursement payments, requiring written agreements for electronic payments.

Louisiana SB192 amends existing law to clarify the method of dental reimbursement or payments. It defines "express acceptance" as a written agreement between a dental plan and a dentist for payment methods. Dentists must explicitly agree in writing to accept payments via credit card or electronic funds transfer. If a dental plan changes payment methods without this express acceptance, it nullifies any previous agreement, requiring a new written agreement. The changes apply to new policies issued after January 1, 2027, with existing policies needing to conform by January 1, 2028.
