§ 26:2S-31 — Adoption of dental plan application forms

2. a. The Commissioner of Banking and Insurance shall adopt by regulation a universal dentist application for participation form for use by carriers which offer or administer dental plans for the purpose of credentialing dentists who seek to participate in a carrier's provider network and for the purpose of credentialing dentists who are employed by hospitals or other health care facilities which seek to participate in a carrier's provider network. b. The commissioner shall also adopt by regulation a form for renewal of credentialing, which shall be an abbreviated version of the universal application form. The renewal form shall be designed to enable a dentist to indicate changes in the information provided in the application form. c. The commissioner shall revise the universal application and renewal forms, as necessary, to conform to industry-wide, national standards for credentialing. d. In developing the forms, the commissioner shall consult with the Commissioner of Human Services to ensure that the credentialing requirements for participation in the Medicaid program, established pursuant to P.L.1968, c.413 (C.30:4D-1 et seq.), and the NJ FamilyCare Program established pursuant to P.L.2005, c.156 (C.30:4J-8 et al.) are adequately reflected on the application and renewal forms.
