Bill Analysis

HB 1934 would prohibit an employee benefit plan or health insurance policy provider or issuer from recovering overpayment made to a dentist unless certain stipulations are met.  The bill would also allow dentists to choose not participate in third party access to the contract or enter into a contract directly with the third party that will obtain access to a provider network, if a provider network contract has been entered into, sold, leased, or renewed or when material modifications are made to the contract. 

Vote Recommendation Notes

Texas Action is neutral on HB 1934.
