National Dental Benefits Conference 2009

August 28–29, 2009
ADA headquarters
Chicago, IL

Introduction

The National Dental Benefits Conference 2009 is scheduled for Friday and Saturday, August 28–29. It is expected that over 130 attendees will participate in this year’s meeting to be held at ADA Headquarters. Attendees will include constituent and component dental society staff, dentists, brokers, consultants and third-party administrators (TPAs) involved in dental benefit issues and DR promotions.

The conference will include speakers and consultants from major dental benefit organizations discussing key topics including administrative cost reductions, real-time claims adjudication, workers compensation and dental claims and a major discussion on the advantages and disadvantages of Direct Reimbursement.

In addition, several of the conference presentations are eligible for continuing education credits for dentists. For more information about this program, call the ADA’s Council on Dental Benefit Programs at 800-621-8099.
