Introduced Text

Massachusetts H5045 aims to ensure transparency in dental leased networks by requiring clear communication and consistent quality measures.

Massachusetts H5045 introduces new regulations for dental leased networks to enhance transparency. It mandates that Provider Network Entities provide clear written notices to Participating Dental Providers about the terms of their agreements, including fee schedules and quality measures. Third-party Health Plans must also notify their customers about the networks they access and the volume of patients they serve. The bill ensures that any changes to these networks are communicated in advance and that consistent credentialing standards and quality measures are maintained.
