An Incremental, Progressive Agenda: Oral Health and Dental Plan Oversight in Biden Administration Policies

Wednesday, September 21
10:15 AM - 11:15 AM CT

While the boldest plans of the Biden administration have stalled in a narrowly divided Congress, the Biden Administration's executive agenda is incrementally advancing a progressive program that impacts oral health and dental plans in several ways. This session will survey key Biden administration regulatory priorities concerning public health (including oral health), health equity, expanded healthcare access, and specific interest policies to dental plans in the Affordable Care Act, Medicare, and Medicaid markets.
