23-99-602. Legislative findings.
The General Assembly finds that the quality of dental care is improved through patient choice among dentists and that utilization of dentists varies less than utilization of other providers. Patients should have the freedom to go to dentists outside their managed care network when the carrier is not required to pay the dentist more than it pays in-network dentists. Therefore, health carriers should be required to offer a point-of-service option for dental care.
