Abstract

This Q&A section clarifies that the MDA no longer distributes staff compensation surveys due to 2023 FTC enforcement policy changes. However, members can access UCR fee analysis reports at a discount through PPO Negotiation Solutions. For dentists nearing retirement, the MDA offers retired and retired life membership categories, which provide dues discounts or exemptions for those no longer earning income from dentistry. The source also recommends Best Card for credit card processing to save an average of $6,496 annually. Finally, practitioners are reminded that licensure renewal must be completed through the MiPLUS platform, which primarily issues electronic licenses.
