Prohibits carriers from offering dental plans with dental benefit waiting periods.

This bill prohibits New Jersey dental insurance carriers from including waiting periods in new or renewed dental plans. It directly affects dental insurance companies operating in New Jersey and the people enrolled in their plans, preventing delays in coverage for certain dental services. The key provision bans any plan provision that delays a covered person's eligibility to receive specific dental benefits. This policy change takes effect 30 days after enactment, applying to all dental plans issued or renewed after that date. The law ensures immediate access to covered dental services without initial waiting periods for new enrollees.
