This bill gives dentists the power to reject certain contract clauses with insurance companies that would let the insurer share their negotiated discounts with other insurers without giving up any of their own rights. The change essentially prevents insurers from profiting off dental discounts they negotiated without the dentist's consent, though insurers operating under the same brand can still share discounts together.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
