The bill amends the existing insurance law in Michigan, specifically focusing on dental benefits provided by health plans or nonprofit dental care corporations. It mandates that these entities must offer one or more payment or reimbursement methods that ensure dentists receive 100% of the payable amount without incurring any fees to access these payments, except for fees imposed by the dentist's financial institution. Additionally, if a dentist chooses to opt out of a payment method, that decision will remain in effect until the dentist decides to opt back in or enters into a new contract.

This amendment applies to dental benefits policies that are delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed in Michigan after the effective date of the act. The bill aims to enhance the financial arrangements between dental care providers and health plans, ensuring that dentists are fully compensated for their services without additional costs associated with accessing payments.
