This week Health Affairs Forefront published an article co-authored by Center for Medicare Advocacy Managing Policy Attorney Kata Kertesz on advocacy regarding oral health in Medicare. The article, “Navigating The Path To Medicare Dental Coverage,” outlines previous legislative advocacy aimed at including a comprehensive oral health benefit in Part B, the shift to administrative advocacy, and the path forward. The article cites to the challenges in achieving expansion, as well as the collaborative efforts of an extensive group of advocates. The Center for Medicare Advocacy thanks CareQuest Institute for Oral Health for their long-standing support of this critical work.
