Dental Leasing Bill

On August 23rd, Governor Murphy signed legislation into law which prohibits dental carriers from renting their dental provider networks unless the dentist consents. The law, which becomes effective for all provider contracts executed after January 1, 2020, also requires any carrier who rents a network from another carrier to abide by the same contract terms of which the dentist initially agreed should the dentist choose to participate in network leasing arrangements. New Jersey is now the first state to give doctors such a choice. For more information contact the NJDA. To read a copy of the law click here.
