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 load the information of approved providers into their payment systems within thirty days of receiving a complete credentialing application. If they fail to do so, they are required to reimburse the providers for covered health care services rendered after the thirty-day period, provided the providers meet certain criteria, including having no license sanctions and maintaining professional liability insurance.

Additionally, the bill outlines specific requirements for health insurance carriers regarding the credentialing process, including timelines for assessing applications, notifying applicants of required information, and the conditions under which provisional credentialing may be granted. It also emphasizes that the rules must ensure that the credentialing process is fair and does not impose unnecessary burdens on applicants. The Superintendent is tasked with resolving disputes related to reimbursement and credentialing delays, ensuring that the process is transparent and efficient for both providers and health insurance carriers.
