Prepayments for certain dental services regulated.

HF 1720 prohibits dentists from requiring patients to pay any portion of a dental bill upfront for treatments scheduled to take over 90 days. It directly affects patients receiving long-term dental care and dental practices. The bill requires dentists to allow patients to pay for such services in at least two installments, with payments due at least 30 days apart, starting when treatment begins. This applies specifically to dental treatment plans exceeding 90 days in duration. The law amends Minnesota Statutes Section 150A.11 to establish this payment structure.
