Massachusetts H5044 amends laws to prevent dental benefit corporations from setting fees for covered dental services.

Massachusetts H5044 amends the General Laws to prohibit dental benefit corporations from requiring dentists to provide services at a particular fee unless the services are covered. The bill defines "covered services" as dental care services for which reimbursement is available under an enrollee's plan contract. It also prohibits contracts or agreements with dentists from setting fees for these services unless they are covered. This change aims to protect dentists from being forced to provide services at fees set by corporations, ensuring they can negotiate fees for covered services.
