SUMMARY:NADP Consortium Session #5: Communicating with Members\, Provider\, and Brokers about MLR
DESCRIPTION:NADP Consortium Session #5: Communicating with Members\, Provider\, and Brokers about MLR\nJoin us for an engaging consortium session led by Heidi tenBroek\, Julie Bentz\, Rachel Ferguson\, and Maureen Tressel Lewis from Milliman\, where we will delve into the topic of effectively communicating about dental loss ratios (DLRs) with members\, providers\, and brokers. This session will provide a distinctive perspective\, given the complexities arising from the rollout of DLRs across different states. Consequently\, communication strategies for each stakeholder group will require tailored approaches that consider their individual perspectives. \nDuring this interactive session\, our Milliman experts will provide a comprehensive overview of the communication considerations associated with dental loss ratios. Participants will gain valuable knowledge about potential communication strategies to help plans align with DLR regulations and will explore the outcomes and impacts of these strategies on members\, providers\, and brokers. Additionally\, we will discuss the importance of stakeholder engagement and collaboration in implementing effective communication strategies. \nYour engagement and participation are crucial to the success of this session. Please come prepared to share your insights\, ask questions\, and contribute to this important discussion.

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

She lectures nationally on Dental insurance\, Claim coding\, Opioid Epidemic in Dentistry\, and Quality in Oral Health. \nShe received her DMD and advanced certificates in Prosthetics and Periodontology at Boston University and a bachelor’s degree in biology from Providence College. She maintains a private practice in Periodontology in Brookline\, Massachusetts. \n\n\n \nDr. Mark Jurkovich\nResearch Investigator at HealthPartners Institute\n\nMark W. Jurkovich\, BS\, DDS\, MBA\, MHI\, MAGD\, is a research investigator at the HealthPartners Institute in Bloomington\, MN.  He provided direct patient care in various private practice formats for 38 years.
