Bill overview
House Bill 2056 clarifies the definitions of key terms related to dental insurance and dental plans in Oklahoma. Specifically, it defines ‘covered services,’ ‘dental plan,’ and ‘health benefit plan’ to provide greater clarity within the state’s dental insurance regulations. The bill also prohibits dental insurance contracts from requiring dentists to accept fees set by the insurance plan unless those services are explicitly covered under the subscriber agreement. Finally, it establishes procedures for appealing denied dental claims based on medical necessity.
