This bill, Minnesota Senate File No. 1984, proposes an amendment to Minnesota Statutes 2024, Section 150A.11, regulating prepayments for certain dental services. Specifically, it prohibits dentists or dental practices from requiring patients to prepay for services outlined in a dental treatment plan that will take more than 90 days to complete.

Additionally, once treatment begins, the bill mandates that patients be allowed to make payments in at least two installments, spaced at least 30 days apart.

The bill aims to provide flexibility for patients in financing extended dental treatments while preventing the burden of full prepayment before receiving care.
