Hill.
Licensure for Dentists and Hygienists Practicing in
Pennsylvania
PDA is supportive of changes to current licensure requirements to allow
for more freedom of movement for dentists and hygienists wanting to
practice in Pennsylvania. PDA advocates in favor of regulations for
licensure by reciprocity and credentialing to members of the
Pennsylvania General Assembly and State Board of Dentistry.
Dental Residency Program
PDA is working in conjunction with ADA to support regulations from
the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services that would maintain
federal funding for non-hospital based dental residency training
programs. PDA opposes any regulations that would
eliminate dental residency positions in the United States.
Student Loan Repayment
PDA lobbies members of the Pennsylvania General
Assembly in support of programs that provide school loan repayment
as an incentive for those dental students willing to practice in
designated health professional shortage areas.
Insurance Practices
To ensure the viability of the dental profession, PDA advocates for
legislative and regulatory measures that require insurers operating in
Pennsylvania to provide timely and fair reimbursement for dental
services. PDA also works closely with officials in order to hold
accountable state-operated insurance programs.
