Dental insurance.

Wyoming's SF 159 regulates dental insurance billing practices to protect dentists and patients. The bill prohibits insurers from forcing dentists to accept predetermined fees for non-covered services, banning "downcoding" (reducing billing codes without justification) and "bundling" (combining procedures to make them non-billable). Insurers must clearly explain billing adjustments in patient explanations of benefits and disclose their downcoding policies. Dentists can still collect fees per their published schedule for downcoded services if patients provide written consent. The law applies to new insurance contracts starting July 1, 2025.
