Overview
This bill makes changes to direct health care agreements in Alaska, specifically for dental care. It clarifies that these agreements can only involve dental services and limited primary care services, and excludes individuals receiving Medical Assistance. The bill also introduces regulations for dental health care insurance plans, requiring insurers to report dental loss ratios annually and identify outlier plans. Finally, it establishes a process for the director to investigate and potentially remediate insurers with low dental loss ratios.
