The act requires carriers to file annual reports with the Mississippi Insurance Commissioner by June 30th. The commissioner must then post the dental loss ratio on the department's website by December 1st of each year. The act excludes Medicaid, the Mississippi Children's Health Insurance Program, and other state-sponsored plans.
