Efforts to educate lawmakers are highlighted in 2022’s yearly review of the ADA’s lobbying efforts on Capitol Hill and with the Administration. The ADA’s actions to protect dentists and patients by, for example, working with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to improve access to dental surgeries in hospital operating rooms and supporting a successful ballot measure in Massachusetts to establish a medical loss ratio in dentistry were some of the many accomplishments in 2022.
