SB 2887 Rhode Island Senate · 2026 Regular Session

AN ACT RELATING TO INSURANCE -- ACCIDENT AND SICKNESS INSURANCE POLICIES-DENTAL INSURANCE COVERAGE

SB 2887 clarifies how dental insurance benefits are paid directly to healthcare providers under accident and sickness insurance policies. This change affects individuals with dental coverage and the dental providers who receive payments from insurance companies. The bill specifies the procedures for direct payment arrangements to ensure funds go straight to the provider rather than to the policyholder. It aims to streamline the billing process between insurers and dental practices without altering existing coverage requirements.
