A bill for an act relating to notice to dental care providers that a dental care service plan is state-regulated.
This bill requires dental insurance companies to inform dentists when a patient's dental plan is regulated by Iowa's insurance department (not just a private plan). Specifically, insurers must disclose this status to dental providers via an online portal or other accessible method, and include the phrase "state-regulated" on patient ID cards issued after July 1, 2025. It directly affects dental insurance companies (dental carriers) and dental care providers who treat patients with these plans. The law clarifies regulatory status to ensure providers understand the oversight governing the patient's coverage.
