“I would like to thank Representatives Carter and Clarke for their leadership to bring more balance to contract negotiations to address abusive practices of large dental insurance companies and the impact on small business owners and their patients,” said Brett H. Kessler, D.D.S., president of the American Dental Association. “Our patients are being negatively impacted when dental insurance companies interfere with care delivery by dictating how much a doctor may charge a plan enrollee, even though they choose not to cover those services in the plan. The DOC Access Act will play a crucial part in curbing the anti-patient and anti-competitive practices of dental insurance plans.” https://lnkd.in/gW-UCAY5 #GameOn #theadventurecontinues #anythingspossible #sober #ADAPresident #ADAchangemakers #ThinkDifferent #OralHealthIsHealth #theygolowigohigh American Dental Association #GameOn #theadventurecontinues #anythingspossible #sober #ADAPresident #ADAchangemakers #ThinkDifferent #OralHealthIsHealth #theygolowigohigh American Dental Association
