The West Virginia Dental Association is lobbying for the state to pass a dental loss ratio for insurers, The Real WV reported Sept. 24.
Three notes:
1. The WVDA launched a campaign to advocate for legislation during the state’s upcoming regular session.
2. The dental organization is pushing for a DLR that will require insurers to allocate at least 85% of premium dollars toward patient care, or refund the difference to patients.
3. State legislators considered three similar bills during the last legislative session, but none passed.
