This bill mandates the Superintendent of Insurance to establish rules that create a standardized and efficient process for the credentialing of dentists and dental hygienists by health insurance carriers. It stipulates that health insurance carriers must approve or deny credentialing applications within thirty days of receiving a complete application. If the carriers fail to do so, they are required to reimburse the approved dentists and dental hygienists for services rendered, provided certain conditions are met, such as the absence of license sanctions and the possession of professional liability insurance.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific requirements for health insurance carriers regarding the verification of qualifications, notification of application status, and the loading of provider information into their payment systems. It allows for provisional credentialing for one year and sets a maximum interval of three years for primary credential verification. The legislation aims to streamline the credentialing process while ensuring that dentists and dental hygienists are fairly compensated for their services during any delays in the credentialing process.
