Bill overview
The Dental and Optometric Care Access Act of 2023 aims to improve dental and vision coverage under health insurance plans. It prohibits private health insurers from setting rates for dental services provided by optometrists and dentists, except for routine dental cleanings. The bill also establishes rules regarding the duration of limited-scope dental and vision plans and prevents insurers from restricting a doctor’s choice of laboratories or suppliers. Doctors can opt-out of these provisions, and states retain authority to enforce related regulations.
