The
Center for Medicare Advocacy continues our years-long efforts for medically
necessary oral health care to be covered by Medicare, as authorized under current
law.
Along
with a coalition of beneficiary advocates, disease organizations, industry
groups, oral health and medical health professionals the Center has been
gathering experts to present at listening sessions with CMS staff. The second
of the three-part series took place in June.

Additionally,
we are delighted to share Dear Colleague letters from both the House and Senate
that were sent to CMS supporting medically necessary dental. The Senate letter
was signed by 22 Senators and the House letter had over 100 Representatives
join!
