Summary: In this episode of The Fulcrum podcast, VDA CEO Ryan Dunn and VDA Counsel Scott Johnson discuss the impact of Virginia's 2024 transparency legislation requiring dental insurance carriers to disclose their Dental Loss Ratios (DLR). They review the first loss ratio reports released by the Virginia Bureau of Insurance, explaining what the data entails and what early trends are emerging. They also highlight the VDA's Dental Insurance Grievance (DIG) tracker, its role in identifying and addressing issues with dental insurers, and how ongoing data collection will benefit VDA members and consumers. Additionally, they emphasize the importance of educating members and leveraging the new transparency to make informed decisions about dental insurance carriers.
