MD| The Maryland Insurance Administration Bulletin 26-10 notifies carriers that use provider panels for Maryland health benefit and dental plans of the 2026 network access plan filing deadlines and procedures, requiring health benefit plan access plans to be filed through SERFF by July 1, 2026, with specified additional COMAR 31.10.44.04C(3), (4), and (12) information due in the same SERFF filing by October 1, 2026, in accordance with detailed Annual Filing Instructions and updated mandatory template forms on the MIA website. Separate SERFF filings are required for each distinct provider panel or network, carriers must identify confidential information and use SERFF confidentiality tools as needed, and the MIA invites feedback on improving the templates. For dental plans using provider panels, carriers must file the non‑confidential executive summary form described in COMAR 31.10.45.06 via SERFF by December 1, 2026, using SERFF templates (including waiver request forms if applicable), with separate filings for each distinct dental network and questions directed to the MIA Life & Health Unit.
