Connecticut State Dental Association: Dental insurance reform bill would support patient care
Mandating that at least 85% of premiums are spent on patient care

The Connecticut State Dental Association wants state lawmakers to pass a bill that would require dental insurers to be more transparent about how patient premiums are used, mandating that at least 85% are spent on patient care. The legislation is similar to a Massachusetts ballot question approved by voters last year. A 2021 survey by the Association found that 91% of Connecticut residents support limiting the amount from premiums that insurers can spend on administration, and the Association's executive director, Kathlene Gerrity, notes that "when dental insurance does not afford you the ability to get into the chair often enough you're actually setting yourself up for what could be a chronic or catastrophic situation."
