Dental Insurance Initiative to Appear on Massachusetts Ballot in November

Massachusetts voters will consider an initiative on their November ballot that would require dental insurance companies to spend 83% or more of premiums on actual patient care, not administrative costs or taxes.

The state of Massachusetts already requires medical insurance providers to spend at least 85% of premiums on patient care. Click here to read more.
