SUMMARY:NADP Consortium Session #6: Contracting Implications of MLR
DESCRIPTION:NADP Consortium Session #6: Contracting Implications of MLR\nWhile provider reimbursement in the commercial dental market is currently largely fee-for-service\, the potential increasing prevalence of dental minimum loss ratio regulations may present opportunities to take steps toward value-based care.  In this session\, Tricia Beckmann and Amy Strati from Faegre Drinker will review the Value-Based Care (VBC) continuum\, spanning from traditional fee-for-service models to provider capitation.  They will discuss the connection between VBC and loss ratio compliance\, based on case studies from their experiences working with medical plans under the Affordable Care Act\, providing insights and tips as dental plans begin to consider alternative provider payment mechanisms. \n

SUMMARY:NADP Consortium Session #3: Product Design Changes to Meet MLR Requirements
DESCRIPTION:NADP Consortium Session #3: Product Design Changes to Meet MLR Requirements\nIn this collaborative session\, we will discuss and brainstorm potential changes to dental products and plan design to align with minimum loss ratio requirements.  The success of this session relies on attendee engagement and participation\, so please come ready to think through and provide your feedback on this important topic!  Joanne Fontana\, Rachel Ferguson\, and Maureen Tressel Lewis from Milliman will guide us through a virtual whiteboarding session.  After providing initial topical background\, they will present various plan design levers (including cost sharing\, covered services\, network construct\, and others) along with some initial thoughts on adjustments in those areas that might help plans align with MLR.  Collectively we will discuss the potential outcomes of those ideas\, including impacts on premiums\, claim costs\, and expenses\, as well as stakeholder ramifications.  We will also collaboratively develop and think through other ideas. The resulting whiteboard ideas will be incorporated into the final slide deck and shared with Consortium attendees as a takeaway resource via Dental Interact.  We are looking forward to a lively discussion and a highly interactive session! \n  \nSpeakers: \n\nJoanne Fontana\, FSA\, MAAA\, Milliman\nMaureen Tressel Lewis\, MBA\, Milliman\nRachel Ferguson\, MHA\, Milliman

SUMMARY:[Webinar] Two Perspectives on the Positive Impact of Electronic Payments
DESCRIPTION:[Webinar] Two Perspectives on the Positive Impact of Electronic Payments\nAugust 29\, 2023\n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM\nHealthcare transactions are on the rise across all segments. With an estimated $660 million in dental claim payments in 2022 – only 21.2% were reported as electronic. Clear savings opportunities of $440M for electronic payment adoption seem to be a compelling case\, so why isn’t the percentage higher? Both dental payers and providers experience unique challenges in the push for payment automation. We will examine this issue from both perspectives and identify key steps to improve your electronic payment adoption strategy. Focusing on the provider payment journey and doing things differently can ultimately benefit everyone. \nThis webinar is FREE for everyone.

SUMMARY:[Webinar] Navigating the Complexities of Credentialing
DESCRIPTION:[Webinar] Navigating the Complexities of Credentialing\nAugust 22\, 2023 \n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM (CT) \nCredentialing is an important component of a payer’s network; the process is important to uphold high-quality patient care by ensuring the providers’ qualifications\, training\, licensure\, and ability to practice medicine are all up to date. Over time\, this process has become arduous and more complex\, some of this due to the outdated paper credentialing process\, and of course staff shortages across the healthcare system\, When provider data is out-of-date\, missing\, or incomplete it prolongs the process. This webinar will cover ways to combat these challenges using intuitive tools that will improve turnaround times\, reduce the percentage of incomplete or inaccurate applications\, and automate notifications and alerts. \nThis webinar is free to everyone.

SUMMARY:[Webinar] Value-Based Dental
DESCRIPTION:[Webinar] Value-Based Dental\nNADP Members Only – FREE \nAugust 1\, 2023\n1:00 PM – 2:00 PM\nEveryone\, it seems\, has an opinion about value-based reimbursement and its potential to impact dental care. But the term is imprecisely understood and applied. Myths co-mingle with facts because we lack a common foundation for discussing value-based care and reimbursement. This webinar\, which follows up on a presentation to the Dental Quality Alliance earlier this year\, is meant to provide NADP members with a common foundation for considering value-based reimbursement; it will also survey some successful value-based pilots to date. Finally\, the presentation will also offer a clear-eyed discussion of the barriers to the widespread adoption of value-based reimbursement in dental care. Following the presentation\, lead presenter\, Mike Adelberg\, NADP’s Executive Director\, will be joined by Dr. Linda Vidone and Dr. Mark Jurkovich\, for a pointed discussion of the topic.
