Bill overview
This bill aims to improve dental coverage and access for California residents. It mandates that health care service plans and insurers offer more timely appointments for urgent, nonurgent, and preventive dental care, requiring shorter wait times for these services. The bill also establishes requirements for dentists to be available within a reasonable distance of patients and requires plans to provide clear disclosures to enrollees about out-of-network costs and assignment of benefits.
