(215 ILCS 110/19) (from Ch. 32, par. 690.19)
Sec. 19.
Every dentist licensed in Illinois to practice dentistry, and who
is reputable and in good standing, shall be eligible to become a
participating dentist in the dental service plan corporation operating in
the geographic area in which he resides or practices, under such terms and
conditions as are imposed on other participating dentists under similar
circumstances. A dental service plan corporation shall impose no
restrictions on the dentists who treat its subscribers as to methods of
diagnosis or treatment. The private dentist-patient relationship shall be
maintained, and a subscriber shall at all times have free choice of any
dentist who is a participating dentist in the corporation and who agrees to
accept a particular beneficiary as a patient.
Except as otherwise provided in Section 15 of this Act, no person
shall offer to the public any dental service plan or otherwise engage in
the business of a dental service plan corporation without having first
received a charter from the Director.
