Dental Group Develops Policy Principles

The Delta Dental Plans Association has come up with a document that will shape its participation in health care reform discussions.

The Delta Dental Plans Association, Oak Brook, Ill., represents nonprofit dental service companies that provide or administer dental benefits for 47 million U.S. residents.

The association started its policy document with a set of “fundamental observations,” including the statements, “Dental is an inseparable part of health and overall wellness” and, “Everyone deserves dental coverage.”
