Dental insurance policies in South Dakota are now banned from requiring patients to pay for dental care using a credit card. This new rule gives patients the freedom to choose their own payment method—such as cash, check, or other options—rather than being forced into credit card payments by their insurance policy.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
