Cosponsor the Improving Dental Administration Act, H.R. 7931
Over the past decade, state dental associations have helped secure more than 360 state dental insurance reform laws. So far in 2026, we have seen wins on Virtual Credit Card, Network Leasing and Downcoding – 8 new laws in total.
Despite these efforts, many dental carriers and administrators continue to avoid complying with these state laws by relying on ERISA preemption for self-funded plans. The Improving Dental Administration (IDA) Act would ensure that state dental insurance consumer and patient protection laws apply to patients covered by employer self-funded dental plans, as well as fully insured plans.
This important bipartisan legislation will close the ERISA loophole, and we need your support to secure more cosponsors. To see all of the current cosponsors of H.R. 7931 you can check here.
Your patients deserve to be treated equally under the law when receiving dental care no matter how their dental benefit plan is designed. Congress can finally bring this needed consistency and accountability to federally regulated dental plans and ensure state dental insurance laws are adhered to:
