Letter urges agency to exercise its ‘oversight abilities’ inreporting of medical loss ratios
The American Dental Association is asking the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to improve the transparency of Medicaid managed care plans and how they report medical loss ratios.
In a Feb. 22 letter to Natalia Chalmers, D.D.S., Ph.D., CMS chief dental officer, ADA President George R. Shepley, D.D.S., and Executive Director Raymond A. Cohlmia, D.D.S., urged the agency to exercise its oversight abilities as they pertain to Medicaid managed care plans and the reporting of medical loss ratios.
“The ADA greatly supports transparency with public dollars, especially in Medicaid, and views MLR reporting as an important part of that transparency,” Drs. Shepley and Cohlmia said.
