1540. Despite section 662, the operator of a private health facility may, without holding an authorization required under section 555, offer dental services to a patient under deep or moderate sedation/analgesia or under general anaesthesia, provided that,

(1)  on 29 March 2023, the operator offered such services in accordance with an agreement entered into with a public institution; and

(2)  as of 13 December 2023, the operator offers such services only to the extent determined by an agreement entered into with that institution or with Santé Québec as of the day of amalgamation.

The agreement referred to in subparagraph 2 of the first paragraph must contain provisions ensuring that users receive services whose quality and safety correspond to those of the services they would have received in the institution.

Until the date of coming into force of section 662 of this Act, the operator of a private health facility within the meaning of the second paragraph of section 95 of the Act respecting health services and social services (chapter S-4.2) may, despite section 333.1.1 of that Act, offer dental services to a patient under deep or moderate sedation/analgesia or under general anaesthesia without holding the permit required under section 437 of that Act, where the conditions set out in the first paragraph are met.
