The ADA submitted formal recommendations to the Department of Health and Human Services, or HHS, in response to its request for information on reducing regulatory burdens in health care. In a July 14 letter to Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the ADA outlined nine reforms aimed at streamlining federal rules affecting dental providers and improving access to oral health care.
ADA President Brett Kessler, D.D.S., and Interim Executive Director Elizabeth Shapiro, D.D.S., J.D., expressed support for the agency’s deregulatory initiative, emphasizing the need to eliminate duplicative processes, promote uniformity and lower compliance costs. One of the ADA’s key recommendations calls on the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to simplify administrative requirements for dental providers who participate in Medicare Advantage plans.
