An insurance company, nonprofit health service corporation, or health maintenance organization may not deliver, issue, execute, or renew any health insurance policy, health service contract, or evidence of coverage on an individual, group, blanket, franchise, or association basis unless the policy, contract, or evidence of coverage provides benefits for anesthesia and hospitalization for dental care provided to a covered individual who is a child under age nine, is severely disabled, or who has a medical condition and requires hospitalization or general anesthesia for dental care treatment. A carrier may require preauthorization of hospitalization for dental care procedures under this section in the same manner preauthorization is required for hospitalization for other covered diseases or conditions. Coverage under this section applies regardless of whether the services are provided in a hospital or an ambulatory surgery center.
