By Representative Caldier

ADOPTED 03/08/2017

    On page 3, line 7, after "including" strike "health care service contractors that offer dental benefit" and insert "carriers that offer stand-alone dental"

    On page 3, line 8, after "related to" insert "the contents of stand-alone dental plans'"

    On page 3, beginning on line 10, after "must" strike all material through "future" on line 12 and insert "provide the legislature with a summary of the stakeholder feedback on explanations of benefits for stand-alone dental plans"

EFFECT:   Limits the scope of the stakeholder work group convened by the Office of the Commissioner (OIC) to examination of the contents of stand-alone dental plans' explanations of benefits (rather than carrier practices related to explanations of benefits). 

Requires the work group to include carriers that offer stand-alone dental plans (rather than health care service contractors that offer dental benefit plans). 

Requires the OIC to provide the Legislature with a summary of the stakeholder feedback (rather than whether additional statutory guidance related to explanations of benefits is necessary in the future).
