New California mandate changes

Anthem is actively preparing to meet the requirements of California's mandate AB1048. This mandate necessitates the removal of the missing tooth clause from our small group dental plans, as well as the elimination of both the missing tooth clause and mandatory waiting periods from our large group dental plans. Be aware that these changes will come into effect January 1, 2025. This is part of our continuous endeavor to align with state mandates and provide better services to our members.
