Fall 24 www.nvda.org 23 NDA President Article Same-Day Denial Prohibition We’re pushing for legislation that stops insurance companies from denying claims when multiple procedures are done in one day. It’s about time dentists’ judgment takes priority! Medicaid Rate Review and Adjustment Raising Medicaid reimbursement rates could make a big difference in access to care. We’re working on this one too, either through legislation or by teaming up with state agencies. And don’t forget to mark your calendars for Oral Health Day at the state Legislature on April 15, 2024! This is a chance for us to meet with our lawmakers in Carson City, tell our stories, and make sure they understand what’s important to us in the dental community. As always, if you have any questions, ideas, or just want to chat, please reach out to your component leadership (NNDS, SNDS, NENDS) or to me directly. I’m so grateful for all of our amazing volunteer leaders, committee members, and of course, the fantastic support we get from Lori Benvin NNDS/NEDS, Esther Johnson SNDS, and Marianna Kacyra. We couldn’t do any of this without you! We’ve got a lot to do, but I’m feeling energized and ready to take on the challenge. We’ll keep you posted on all the latest updates throughout the year. Please remember to check your emails and attend your local component society meetings to stay up to date. Hope you all enjoy the rest of your summer! 0 All the best, Patrick R. Silvaroli, DMD NDA President
