Abstract
The VDA Council on Government Affairs (CGA) has been actively addressing several key issues, particularly challenges with dental insurance companies, such as reduced reimbursements and extended intervals for procedures. They are gathering data from members to address these issues. The CGA discussed the dental licensure compact, which allows dentists to practice across state lines, but they do not support the ADA's version and seek alternative pathways. They also support adding dentists to the Safe Haven legislation and are reviewing proposed revisions to remote supervision laws. Additionally, the CGA aims to increase transparency in dental insurance premiums and create a repository for third-party payer complaints.
