2016 Legislative Accomplishments on Key Issues

TARGET: Federal Regulations

1. As the Affordable Care Act (ACA) provision defines pediatric oral health as an essential health benefit (EHB), ensure that implementing regulations require robust coverage consistent with the AAPD Policy on a Model Dental Benefits for Infants, Children, Adolescents, and Individuals with Special Health Care Needs. Coordinate joint response and comments on proposed regulations with ADA and keep key members of Congress informed.

Support mandatory purchase (vs. offer) of an appropriately structured embedded or stand-alone dental plan for children inside exchanges, and encourage states to adopt such a requirement as several have already done (Kentucky, Nevada, Washington state).

Sustain regulatory inclusion of general anesthesia coverage state mandates as EHB in 2017 and beyond (for states that approved such mandates prior to 12-31-11) 2014 and 2015. Monitor types of pediatric oral health insurance offered in state health insurance exchanges as compared with AAPD model benefits.

Evaluate and respond to key ACA insurance plan issues such as network adequacy, provider fees, family out-of-pocket costs, and the impact of pediatric dental coverage embedded in medical plans. Communicate recommendations to Center for Consumer Information and Insurance Oversight.

OUTCOME: Ongoing. Plenty of action expected in 2017 with GOP Repeal and Replace initiative.

2. Work closely with ADA, state dental associations, and state pediatric dentistry chapters to ensure that state health insurance exchanges appropriately adhere to federal guidelines and regulations concerning insurance plans offering pediatric oral health coverage. Fully engage state Public Policy Advocates in this effort.

OUTCOME: Ongoing. Sent regular updates to PPAs and utilized ADA Health Policy Institute studies of ACA enrollment data in advocacy efforts. Harris Fellow survey indicated pediatric dentists’ patients are experiencing problems with embedded plans with high combined deductible.

TARGET: State Legislation and Regulations

1. Continue to provide technical assistance to states for General Anesthesia legislation, highlighting ongoing cost analysis and using TRICARE coverage and success in 33 states to spur momentum. Evaluate likelihood of states considering future insurance mandates in light of ACA EHB provision.

Utilizing research and policy center technical brief and working closely with CDBP, educate insurers and insurance regulators on necessity of this benefit and role of pediatric dentists in treating high risk children.

OUTCOME: CMS 2017 benefits and payment parameters regulation codifies that any state mandate approved prior to 12-31-11 is an EHB under the ACA. CGA also produced analysis of strategy options for this issue in ACA environment.

GOAL: Access to Care TARGET: Federal Health Care Reform

1. Support corrections to Affordable Care Act (ACA) to:A) Make pediatric oral health coverage mandatory.B) Include dental premium cost under calculation of tax subsidy for low income families.C) Exempt preventive dental services from deductibles in embedded plans and SADPs.

OUTCOME: 2016 IRS regulations favorably resolved issue 1 b). Others still pending.

2. Assist ADA in promotion of ERISA reform bill from Congressman Gosar (H.R. 1677), that would require all health plans offering dental benefits to provide uniform coordination of benefits and permit consumers to designate payment of dental benefits to providers who do not participate in the network.

OUTCOME: H.R. 1677 gained 31 co-sponsors, referred to Education and Workforce Committee.

3. Work with ADA and other dental and medical organizations to support a H.R. 3323, the Dental and Optometric Care Access Act, which would apply non-covered services provisions to ERISA plans.

OUTCOME: H.R. 3323 gained 65 co-sponsors, was referred to Subcommittee on Health of Energy and Commerce Committee.

AFFORDABLE CARE ACT (ACA) AND INSURANCE REFORM

GOAL: Access to Care and Medicaid Dental ReformTARGET: Federal Health Care Reform

1. Explore possibility of targeted pediatric oral health bill to address Medicaid dental reform by increasing Medicaid matching payments for states that pursue specific Medicaid dental reforms including reimbursement at competitive market-based rates (per previous proposals such as S. 1522/H.R. 3120). Protect Medicaid EPSDT guarantee in Medicaid block grant and other cost-savings proposals.

OUTCOME: Still pending.

2. Ensure that Medicaid EPSDT regulations continue to promote the dental home and a required examination by a dentist.

OUTCOME: No changes in regulations at present.

GOAL: Medicaid Dental ReformTARGET: Federal Regulations

1. Encourage CMS to include pediatric oral health quality measures developed by the Dental Quality Alliance as part of the Medicaid dental program.*

MEDICAID DENTAL REFORM TARGET: State Legislation and Regulations

1. Provide continued technical assistance to state pediatric dentistry chapters for Medicaid dental reform for their efforts with both state legislatures and state dental associations.

Continue to promote states’ adoption of appropriate dental periodicity schedules consistent with AAPD guidelines, and update research and policy center dental periodicity schedule adoption map on website as appropriate.

Promote state Medicaid programs’ adoption of pediatric oral health quality measures developed by the Dental Quality Alliance (DQA).

Continue to inform and educate key constituencies about reforms that work, including MSDA (Medicaid/CHIP State Dental Association), NCSL, NGA etc.

Work with research and policy center and CDBP to respond to Medicaid medical movement to managed care by:

(A) Promoting dental managed care hybrid payment models that leave the risk with the plan contractor (or at least share it between the plan and the provider); and (B) Maintaining accountable dental fee-for-service plans.

OUTCOME: Ongoing. Research and Policy Center will release several Medicaid dental technical briefs in 2017.

2. Ensure that state Medicaid programs conducting provider audits do so in an appropriate and fair manner, adhering to AAPD clinical guidelines and utilizing peer review by pediatric dentists. Secure appropriate guidance to states from CMS Center for Medicaid and State Operations.

OUTCOME: Ongoing. Legal guide for dentists undergoing audits was published in Sept. 2016 PDT.

*The initial DQA pediatric oral health quality mea-sures tested and adopted in 2013 are as follows:

Evaluating Utilization Use of Services Preventive Services Treatment Services

Evaluating Quality of Care Oral Evaluation Topical Fluoride Intensity Sealant use in 6-9 years Sealant use in 10-14 years Care Continuity Usual Source of Services

Evaluating Cost Per-Member Per-Month Cost

The DQA was formed by the ADA at the request of CMS. The AAPD was a founding member and has a representa-

tive on the DQA’s Executive Committee.

OUTCOME: Ongoing. MSDA reports that 18 state Medicaid dental programs are using DQA quality measures.

GOAL: WorkforceTARGET: Federal Appropriations for FY17

1. Seek appropriations for sec. 748 Title VII dental primary care cluster of $35.873 million, with directed funding of not less than $10 million going to pediatric dentistry in recognition of the demand for training grants and the increased need for pediatric dentists to treat newly insured children under the ACA. Obtain continued support for dental faculty loan repayment, and strongly encourage applications in response to HRSA’s FY 2016 grant announcement.

OUTCOME: HRSA awarded $1.8 million in FY 2016 for dental faculty development and loan repayment to 8 programs. At least 3 have a pediatric dental component. There were 14 total applicants, limited by HRSA’s overly narrow funding criteria. Final FY 2017 omnibus bill provided $10 million for pediatric dentistry and $800,000 for dental faculty loan repayment with report language supporting preference for pediatric dentistry faculty and broader clinic eligibility criteria. This resulted in HRSA announcing a new FY 2017 funding cycle for dental faculty loan repayment.

2. Support efforts of Children’s Hospital Association to obtain full funding of $300 million for Children’s Hospitals GME, and oppose any HRSA efforts to restructure the program and eliminate dental positions from residency count in funding formula.

OUTCOME: Final FY 2017 omnibus bill provided $300 million, an increase of $5 million over FY 2016.

3. Seek HRSA support to implement AAPD proposal for restructured MCHB program for Leadership in Pediatric Dentistry Education.

OUTCOME: HRSA MCHB issued a four year $1 million per year cooperative agreement proposal for a center for oral health systems integration and improvement, due March 6, 2017.

TARGET: State Legislation and Regulations

1. Promote states’ adoption of expanded duties for dental assistants as recommended in the AAPD’s Policy on Workforce Issues and Delivery of Oral Health Care Services in a Dental Home, and assist state chapters dealing with dental therapist and other mid-level proposals.* Provide technical assistance, via research and policy center, to state Public Policy Advocates working in collaboration with state dental associations on this issue.

OUTCOME: Only Vermont approved dental therapy law in 2016. Evidence from few states that have passed laws continues to be underwhelming despite Pew’s spin.

*Note that a tool kit is available on the AAPD research and policy center web page.

WORKFORCE IMPROVEMENTS

GOAL: Access to CareTARGET: Federal Health Care Reform

1. Work with ADA and other dental and medical organizations to support a simplified process across appropriate governmental agencies to designate individuals with intellectual disabilities as a medically underserved population.

OUTCOME: Still pending.

2. Secure HRSA review and update of dental health professions shortage area (HPSA) criteria, building from unimplemented 2005 UNC/Sheps Center report along with other recommendations. An improved dental HPSA will provide a more accurate federal assessment of oral health workforce needs.

OUTCOME: Held conference call with HRSA officials in spring 2015. Will have continued dialogue on this topic via Research and Policy Center.

Target: Federal Regulations

1. Monitor implementation of Head Start Performance Standards proposed in 2015, to ensure appropriate requirements for dental periodicity schedule and establishment of a dental home.

OUTCOME: AAPD-ADA submitted joint comments in Sept. 2015 on Head Start proposed performance standards, urging stronger language on dental periodicity schedule and dental home. Final regulations not yet released.

Target: State Legislation and Regulations

1. Provide technical assistance to states seeking legislation for mandatory oral health examinations prior to school matriculation. Seek support of state dental associations and other interested organizations via efforts of state Public Policy Advocates.*

OUTCOME: Ongoing. Some PPAs have expressed interest in pursuing. No new laws in 2016.

2. Work with ADA, state dental associations, and state pediatric dental units to promote community water fluoridation, and prevent efforts to remove fluoride from currently fluoridated communities.

OUTCOME: Ongoing.

*Note that a tool kit is available on the AAPD research and policy center web page.
