Abstract
Ryan Dunn, CEO of the VDA, emphasizes the importance of transparency and advocacy in dental care. He highlights the challenges faced by dentists due to insurance companies, including inadequate reimbursement rates and claim denials. The VDA is pushing for legislation requiring insurance companies to disclose how premiums are used for patient care, aiming to help patients and employers make informed decisions. The VDA also seeks regular meetings with insurers to address business practices that hinder patient care. Dunn encourages VDA members to stay engaged and support legislative efforts to improve oral healthcare in Virginia.
