Help Needed with Virtual Credit Card Issue In 2023, ISDS passed a law to stop insurance companies from making dentists pay fees for payments received via virtual credit cards. Some insurance companies are still doing this, even though the law took effect on January 1, 2024. We need your help to stop this. If you’re still getting paid with virtual credit cards, we need you to file a complaint with the Illinois Department of Insurance! For more information, visit: www.isds.org/virtual-credit-cards
