Maine Gov. Janet Mills signed into law a bill that establishes fees and caps on fees for dental provider licensing and permits.
LD 448 fixes a previous law that inadvertently repealed fee caps for dental provider licensing and permits.
The general fees for any one purpose cannot exceed $550, initial or renewal licenses and permits for most dental providers cannot exceed $1,000 and initial or renewal licenses for a specific type of provider, such as dental hygienists or dental assistants, cannot exceed $200.
The law is considered an emergency measure, meaning it will go into effect immediately.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
