This bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 62Q.78, by adding a new subdivision that addresses the designation of payment by dental organizations. The new provision mandates that upon a written request from an enrollee, dental organizations must provide payment for dental care services directly to the dentist who rendered the services, irrespective of whether the dentist is part of the dental organization's provider network.

The inclusion of this subdivision aims to enhance the flexibility and options available to enrollees when seeking dental care, ensuring that they can choose their preferred dentist without being restricted by network participation. This change is intended to improve access to dental services and streamline the payment process for both enrollees and dental providers.
