The bill amends Minnesota Statutes 2024, section 150A.11, by adding a new subdivision that regulates prepayments for certain dental services. Specifically, it prohibits dentists or dental practices from requiring patients to prepay any portion of the costs for dental services that are part of a treatment plan scheduled to take more than 90 days to complete.

Instead, once the dental services begin, the bill mandates that patients must be allowed to pay for these services in at least two installments, with each payment due at least 30 days apart. This legislation aims to provide financial flexibility for patients undergoing extensive dental treatments, ensuring they are not burdened with upfront costs for long-term care.
