An Act to create direct dental care agreements

This bill allows dentists in Massachusetts to enter into direct care agreements with patients, enabling them to provide services based on a periodic fee instead of relying on traditional insurance payments. Under this new arrangement, dentists and patients must outline the specific services and fees involved, while the dentist is prohibited from submitting insurance claims for those covered services. The legislation also clarifies that dentists participating in these agreements are not considered insurance companies and will not be subject to the state's division of insurance oversight.
