Pennsylvania bill gives dental practices payment collection options: 4 notes

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro signed a bill into law requiring insurance companies to provide dental practices with multiple payment options, according to an Oct. 28 news release.

Here are four things to know:

1. HB 1664 allows dentists and dental practices to choose payment options that more align with their goals and workflows. 

2. Electronic credit card fees can cost larger practices up to $1 million annually and smaller offices up to $100,000 each year.

3. The increased freedom will help dental practices streamline administrative processes and reduce financial burdens.

4. State Reps. Greg Scott and Arvind Venkat partnered on the bill.
