Federal Advocacy Updates
NADP works to advance the dental benefits industry and improve oral care for all. One of the primary ways we achieve this is by advocating on behalf of dental plans at the top levels of government as policies are conceived, debated, and implemented. NADP lobbies Congress and executive agencies, and by offering information and tools that empower dental carriers to share their perspective and expertise directly with policymakers.
