S 2771 United States Senate · 118th Congress

Increasing Access to Dental Insurance Act

The Increasing Access to Dental Insurance Act (S 2771) would amend the Affordable Care Act to allow individuals to enroll in standalone dental insurance plans through health insurance marketplaces without needing to also have a health insurance plan. This change removes a current barrier that previously prevented people from accessing dental coverage if they weren't enrolled in a health plan. The bill directly affects people seeking dental insurance who do not have or do not want a comprehensive health insurance plan. By prohibiting restrictions based on health insurance status, the law aims to make dental coverage more accessible for these individuals.
