The Dental Plan Transparency Effect, also known as Senate Bill No. 1008, was passed to ensure standardized health insurance reporting and disclosures for dental services. Similar to how the Affordable Care Act mandated medical plan Summary of Benefits Coverage (SBCs) to allow members to easily shop for and compare health insurance plans, SB 1008 requires a similar benefits and coverage disclosure matrix for dental plan benefits. This bill was signed into law in 2018 and goes into effect for plan or policy years on and after January 1, 2021.
