GOVERNMENT RELATIONS LATEST NEWS

Government Relations is one of NADP's primary areas of expertise. NADP tracks state and federal legislation that directly impacts the dental benefits industry. The GRC (Government Relations Commission), a group made up of volunteers from member companies, assists staff in determining appropriate advocacy and lobbying efforts on legislative and regulatory issues.

Members and their affiliates have access to LOTS (Legislative Online Tracking System), a searchable database of the current dental specific legislation on NADP's radar screen.  LOTS is updated daily and accessible via the NADP Web site. NADP offers a government relations forum in its eCommunity where members can discuss best practices and share complex compliance questions. Also available to members is the "GR Working Document" which contains a legislative grid of priority legislation as well as a full spreadsheet on state statutes regulating discount plans.

NADP has federal and NAIC consultants to assist in covering all aspects of government relations affecting our members. NADP also works with interested stakeholders and fellow trade associations to ensure a wide base of support and understanding of the issues impacting dental plans today.

If you would like additional information on NADP's legislative and advocacy efforts, please contact Director of Government Relations Kris Hathaway at khathaway@nadp.org.
