The ADA is calling on the Federal Trade Commission to more closely examine competition and transparency in dental insurance as the agency’s Healthcare Task Force begins its work. The FTC launched the Healthcare Task Force in March to coordinate the agency’s health care competition and consumer protection work.
In an April 29 letter to the FTC Healthcare Task Force leadership, the ADA voiced support for the task force’s mission while stressing that dental coverage presents distinct challenges that are often overlooked in broader health policy discussions.
