Dear ADA Live: Navigating Contracts, Coverage, and Care with ADA Experts

Location: Virtual

In surveys of dentists, dental insurance has been cited as one of the major problems faced by dental practices. In this live online seminar event, ADA staff will be joined by the following dentists who have extensive experience navigating dental insurance issues:

Dr. Shelley Olson, a general dentist from Oxford, North Carolina, who is the chair of the ADA’s Council on Dental Benefit Programs

Dr. Bertram Hughes, a general dentist from Gainesville, Florida, who is the vice-chair of the Council on Dental Benefit Programs

Dr. Travis Campbell, a general dentist from Prosper, Texas

Topics that will be covered include exclusivity clauses in PPO agreements, PPO leasing arrangements, and reimbursement and lack of dental plan assistance for out-of-network dentists. These are everyday issues that plague dental offices, and this webinar will bring participants up to date on current ADA advocacy efforts regarding dental benefit plans.

This no-cost online seminar is another of the many ways the ADA is working to support our members by providing valuable educational resources on dental insurance issues for dentists and front office staff. We look forward to your participation.

Please note that this online seminar does not provide continuing education credits.
