Take Action on AB 454:

Advocate for Dental Care Provider Emergency Payments

The increased costs of PPE and other pandemic related resources and tools continues to be burdensome. A new bill in the California State Assembly aims to lessen those costs. AB 454 a bill sponsored by Assembly member Freddie Rodriguez would give authority – during a future public health emergency – to the California Department of Insurance and Department of Managed Health Care to direct dental plans to support their contracted provider network through various means such as grants, increased rates or payments for mandatory infection control measures like PPE. State regulators need to have adequate authority available during emergencies to ensure that provider networks stay intact and prevent major disruptions in access to care.
