Senator Grantham, bill sponsor, presented Senate Bill 16-009. He explained that the bill clarifies the current practice of dental referrals. He told the committee that the bill repeals a current prohibition against certain referral practices and replaces it with language similar to the fee sharing restriction in place for physicians. Specifically, a dentist or dental hygienist may face disciplinary action for the following under the bill:
-
dividing a fee with or paying a person in exchange for the person sending or bringing a patient to the licensee, recommending the licensee to a patient, or agreeing to such an arrangement; and
- presenting a bill or requesting payment for services rendered by a person other than the licensee.
