HR 1671 United States House · 118th Congress

Increasing Access to Dental Insurance Act

This bill amends the Affordable Care Act to allow individuals to enroll in standalone dental plans through health insurance Exchanges without needing to also have a separate health insurance plan. It directly affects consumers seeking dental coverage who may not qualify for or prefer not to enroll in a comprehensive health plan. The key provision removes a federal restriction that previously prevented enrollment in these dental plans solely based on lack of separate health insurance. This change makes it easier for people to access dental insurance options through the same marketplaces used for health coverage.
