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 in managing their dental care payments, ensuring that they can choose their preferred dentist without being restricted by network participation. The new provision emphasizes the importance of patient choice in dental care services.
