Prepayments for certain dental services regulation
SF 1984 regulates prepayments for long-term dental treatments in Minnesota. It prohibits dentists from requiring patients to pay any upfront amount for dental services scheduled to take more than 90 days to complete. Instead, dentists must offer patients at least two separate payments due at least 30 days apart once treatment begins. This bill directly affects patients receiving extended dental care and dental practices providing such services.
