In his <\/span><\/span>President\u2019s Message<\/span><\/span><\/a> featured in January’s Communiqu\u00e9, Dr. Stefan I. Zweig alluded to the AAE’s expanding advocacy efforts this year. The 2023 legislative session has already begun in Congress and various state legislatures, and AAE’s advocacy team is monitoring their proceedings closely.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Following the Association’s resounding victory in the <\/span><\/span>Massachusetts<\/span><\/span><\/a> election this past November, it will continue to support Dental Loss Ratio (DLR) legislation at the state level and work with dental stakeholders to make patients\u2019 dental care and fairer insurance reimbursements a priority. New DLR policies are being pursued by several state dental societies and several state organizations have indicated they would like to pursue similar measures. As of February 17, DLR-related bills have been filed in six state legislatures so far:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>
\nArizona<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Connecticut<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Illinois<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

New Hampshire<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Rhode Island<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

West Virginia<\/span><\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The AAE also anticipates similar measures in Oklahoma and Nevada.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the event, endodontists had the opportunity to meet directly with federal lawmakers to advocate for the specialty’s future.<\/span> Grassroots participation in legislative and regulatory processes helps toward ensuring the best patient outcomes.
