About SB 5351/HB 1535
This legislation would:
- Require all dental insurance plans operating in Washington to maintain a dental loss ratio of at least 85%. This means that all plans would have to pay out at least 85% of the premium dollars they collect in the form of patient benefits.
- Require that insurance companies maintain parity in what they reimburse for care provided by dentists regardless of whether they are members of the carrier's network or not.
- Prohibit insurance company rules that deny reimbursement payments for covered procedures simply because they are performed on the same day as another covered procedure.
