[2023 Assembly Bill 62]
Assignment of Dental Benefits
2023 WISCONSIN ACT 91
2023 Wisconsin Act 91 permits an insured individual to assign the right to receive reimbursement for
dental care and related services under a limited-scope dental benefit directly to a provider of dental care
or related services. An insured individual may revoke an assignment at any time.
Under the act, if the right to receive reimbursement for dental care and related services is assigned to a
provider of dental care or related services, the assignment has not been revoked, and the assignment is
known to the insurer at the time that a claim is received, then the insurer must directly pay the provider
the amount of the claim under the same criteria and payment schedule under which the insurer would
have reimbursed the insured individual.
The act permits an insurer to require an assignment or revocation of assignment to be documented in
writing or submitted electronically.
Effective date: September 1, 2024
