A 6714 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for standardized health insurance contracts for small dental employers

This bill establishes a program offering standardized health insurance plans to qualifying small dental employers in New York. To qualify, employers must have no more than 50 employees, employ at least one dentist providing 10+ monthly dental visits to patients on medical assistance (under Title XI of the Social Services Law), and employ two licensed dental hygienists. Insurers must provide these standardized plans without changes, covering at least 50% of the employer's employees, and employers must annually certify ongoing eligibility. The program aims to make health insurance more accessible for small dental practices serving lower-income patients.
