The National Dental Benefits Conference 2008 is scheduled for August 15–16, 2008. It is expected that over 100 attendees will participate in this year’s meeting to be held at ADA Headquarters in Chicago. Attendees will include constituent and component dental society staff, dentists, brokers, consultants and third-party administrators (TPAs) who handle third-party carrier (dental benefit) issues and also may be involved in the promotion of Direct Reimbursement.

The conference will include speakers from major insurance carriers discussing key topics including trends and innovations in dental benefits, dental tourism, evidence-based dentistry, national healthcare reform and more. The program will also provide an opportunity for participants to share ideas to assist in the promotion of DR on a national level and to learn about the Association’s national DR marketing campaign.

In addition, companies that market DR-related products and services will be exhibiting at the meeting. For more information about this program, call the ADA’s Council on Dental Benefit Programs at 800-621-8099 x2586 or 312-440-2500.
