Minnesota HF1474 redefines covered services for dental care, limiting restrictions on balance billing, waiting periods, frequency limitations.

Minnesota HF1474 amends the definition of covered services for dental care, specifying that these services are those for which reimbursement is available under an enrollee's plan contract or would be available but for certain contractual limitations. The bill restricts dental plans and organizations from imposing certain restrictions on covered services, including balance billing, waiting periods, frequency limitations, deductibles, and maximum annual benefits. It also mandates that dentists provide a treatment plan with cost estimates for non-covered services before treatment begins.
