Massachusetts S697 establishes consumer protections for dental insurance, including transparency in fees and predeterminations.

Massachusetts S697 aims to enhance consumer protections for dental insurance by requiring transparency in fees and predeterminations. It mandates that dental insurance policies disclose fees associated with payment or reimbursement methods on their websites and upon request. Additionally, it prohibits insurers from paying dentists less than the amount specified in a predetermination of benefits. The bill also ensures that insurers cannot interfere with the choice of a dentist or the provision of dental care services.
