Government Relations
The Connecticut State Dental Association (CSDA) advances the interests of its members by ensuring you have a voice in the public policy discussions that will impact your profession. The CSDA’s Government Relations Director monitors scores of legislative proposals and regulations affecting oral health care, and works closely with CSDA’s Council on Legislation to develop and respond to legislation impacting the dental profession. The CSDA’s Leadership, Council on Legislation and Government Relations Director meet with state legislators and testify before legislative committees to educate policymakers on the CSDA’s policy priorities.
CSDA has submitted testimony regarding proposed health insurance rate hikes. ALL CT DENTISTS should read this and submit their own letters. This is a tremendous opportunity to publicly vent frustrations about dental insurance, low reimbursement rates and the impact on patient care. Read CSDA's letter, write your own and share your submission with kgerrity@csda.com.
