The Dental Insurance Bill
Dental insurance must show where your money goes
Requiring transparency of dental health care insurance products
Good for everyday people ·
The bill would force dental insurers to report how they spend premiums, ban fee‑charging payment methods, and give rebates if care spending is low.
Our take
What we think, in plain words.
If passed, West Virginia residents will see more of their dental premiums used for care, and dentists will be protected from hidden fees, but insurers may raise prices to cover costs.
