Lets eye and dental doctors set their own prices for some services and choose their own labs.
This bill would give eye doctors and dentists more say in how they operate with health plans. It would let them set their own prices for services not covered by insurance, except for dental cleanings. It would also give them more control over their contracts and which labs they use.
Today, health plans can restrict what eye doctors and dentists charge for services not covered by insurance. They can also limit contract lengths and tell doctors which labs to use. After this bill, plans would generally not be able to do these things. Doctors would have more freedom in pricing non-covered services (except for dental cleanings, which would be capped at network fees). They would also have more say in extending contracts and choosing labs. State laws would still apply if they conflict.
