ADA Code Revision Committee
Requests for changes to the Code arise from members of the profession, third-party payer organizations and other interested parties. Review and action on requested changes takes place during the Code Revision Committee's (CRC) periodic meetings. The CRC is comprised of equal representation from third-party payers and the ADA. Six third-party payer organizations represented are: America's Health Insurance Plans, Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, Delta Dental Plans Association, National Association of Dental Plans, National Purchaser of Dental Benefits. The ADA is represented by six dentists in practice appointed by the President of the Association.
