changes at the Health and Human Services Department since the beginning of last year. The REDI Act would
defer interest on student loans while residents completed their residency program. This would decrease the
burden during residency when there is reduced income or no income at all. The bill already has 13 cospon-
sors in the Senate and 78 cosponsors in the House. The purpose of the Improving Dental Administration Act
is to narrowly amend the ERISA Act of 1974 to have self-funded dental insurance plans be subject to the
same provisions as other dental insurance companies. These provisions include prompt payment, noncov-
ered services, dental loss ratios, network leasing stipulations, virtual credit card requirements and pre-

authorization continuity. Legislators heard our thoughts about HHS, including a vacant Chief Dental Officer
at CMS, the elimination of the Chief Dental Officer at HRSA and the concern oral health programs will be
managed in silos. The CDC, CMS and HRSA play very important coordinated roles in advancing the oral
health and overall health of our citizens.

As always, if you need to reach me, you can contact me at dowdb@ada.org or call me on my cell phone
at 716-510-3217. Thanks again to everyone for their contributions to our profession and organized dentistry.

Respectfully,
