The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 62Q.78, by adding a new subdivision that addresses the designation of payment by dental organizations. Specifically, it 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.

This change aims to enhance the flexibility and options available to enrollees when seeking dental care, ensuring that they can receive payments directly to their chosen dentist without being restricted by network participation. This amendment reflects a broader trend in healthcare legislation to empower patients and improve access to care.
