Representative Daugherty and Representative Hartsook, co-prime bill sponsors, presented Senate Bill 23-179, concerning insurance carrier requirements for health coverage plans. The bill places disclosure requirements around dental loss ratios, which are the percentage of dental coverage premium dollars spent on services. After two years of data collection, the Commissioner of Insurance will promulgate rules to identify carriers that significantly deviate from the average dental loss ratio and may investigate or take enforcement action against these carriers. Additionally, the bill requires dental coverage plans to issue identification cards.
