Maryland SB813 regulates insurer and dental plan organization interactions with nonpreferred dentists.

Maryland SB813 modifies the rules for insurers and dental plan organizations regarding nonpreferred dentists. Insurers and dental plan organizations cannot refuse to reimburse nonpreferred dentists under an assignment of benefits unless specific conditions are met, such as receiving notice of the assignment after payment to the insured. Nonpreferred dentists must provide enrollees with detailed information before performing services, including whether they may charge for noncovered services or balance bill for covered services.
