From third-party payer issues to regulatory compliance to debt management we have your back. When you have a question, be sure to call organized dentistry first, we probably have an answer. We’ve got you covered.
We’re here to help you with regulatory and legal compliance
ODA staff members are experts in answering your questions about regulatory compliance and legal issues. If you have a question, call the ODA at 800-282-1526 or email dentist@oda.org and we are happy to help.
The ODA also features helpful resources on our website at www.oda.org/resource-library, and the ADA features great practice resources as well at success.ada.org.
The ODA is also always tracking legislation that may affect dental practices, and keeps you updated on the information you need to know to keep your practice in compliance through the “ODA Today” and in the ODA’s e-newsletter, “NewsBites.”
We’re here to help you with third-party payer issues
Dealing with third-party payers can be complicated. The ODA and ADA feature several resources to help you out.
The “Dental Insurance Corner” is published monthly in the “ODA Today” to answer frequent questions and help members with common third-party payer issues. Additionally, members can submit insurance issues to the ODA’s Dental Insurance Working Group, which will then work to help resolve the issues.
Staff at the ODA is also happy to answer questions about third-party payer issues. To talk to a staff member or for more information about the Dental Insurance Working Group, call the ODA at (800) 282-1526 or email chrism@oda.org.
Additionally, the ODA is fighting unfair insurance practices by advocating for legislation that would stop insurance companies from setting fees for services they do not cover. When you renew your membership, you’re lending your support to this fight.
The ADA also features several helpful resources for members. Numerous resources including webinars, publications, guides and more can be found at success.ada.org/en/dental-benefits.
