The "Biggest Challenges in Health Care Are?"

Few in the health care would disagree the health care industry needs to drastically change, but do we have the courage to lead the charge and how?
In the classical theory, reform, disruption, change, value based payment system, and compliance is almost impossible. Every quarter, you are under pressure to cut cost, do more with less, improve quality and change to a value based payment system.
We were thrilled to see that the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) just issued a release stating that the “AAFP Supports Integration of Oral Health into Primary Care.” The more organizations we have working towards the same goal of complete dental and medical integration, the more effective we can be.
With the start of 2019-2020 here, we are looking forward to continuing our hard work of integrating oral health into existing Medicare/Medicaid healthcare plans. By combining dental care and health care, we can streamline processes, promote increased communication among providers, and ultimately provide better care for our members. Many dental options lump Medicare and Medicaid into the same group. At Liberty Dental Plan, we know & understand they are very different memberships with distinctive different needs.
At LIBERTY Dental Plan we pride ourselves on our ability to keep costs affordable for the health plans while still providing quality dental care you expect. By ensuring that your members have access to preventative care, we reduce their risk of needing serious and costly emergency procedures.
