The ADA Council on Dental Benefit Programs is accepting comments from membership on a policy on medical (dental) loss ratios until April 15.  

A dental loss ratio requires dental insurance companies to pay a percentage of premiums collected on actual patient care. The council will review the current policy, first adopted by the ADA House of Delegates in 2015 and amended in 2019 and assess member feedback when developing recommendations for modification of the policy.

“It is critical that the council hears from the collective ADA membership,” said Sara Steufen, D.D.S., chair of the council’s Dental Benefit Information Subcommittee. “We want to ensure we are equipped with feedback from our peers as we reevaluate this policy. Please take the time to submit a comment.”

The current ADA policy on medical (dental) loss ratio, comment submission form and registration information is available at ADA.org/MLRcomment.
