NADP to Launch Quality Improvement Activity Program for MLR Consortium Plans in February

One of the key unresolved items from last year’s MLR Consortium was creating a comprehensive list of activities that qualify as Quality Improvement Activities (QIAs). QIAs are vital to improving a plan’s MLR percentage, as funds spent on QIAs are treated like claims—“good” spending in the MLR equation.

To address this, NADP is collaborating with Milliman and has developed a mini-program designed to identify and compile the widest range of appropriate QIA activities. This initiative will leverage Milliman’s expertise in medical MLR filings and input from MLR consortium companies to deliver actionable insights through a focused webinar.

Key Session Objectives

  • Discuss and categorize dental-specific QIAs.
  • Examine regulatory trends, including state-specific legislation on QIAs and MLR reporting.
  • Build on foundational concepts introduced in the May 2024 “Quality Improvement Activities” consortium session.

Date: Tuesday, February 25, 2025
Time: 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM (CT)
Format: Zoom

This timely opportunity will allow dental plan stakeholders to enhance their understanding of QIAs, share perspectives, and navigate the evolving landscape of QIA regulations with confidence.
