DentaQuest Applauds Reintroduction of Bipartisan Bill to Expand Access to Affordable Dental Coverage
BOSTON, Sept. 13, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Steve Pollock, president of DentaQuest, part of Sun Life U.S., released the following statement reacting to the introduction of the Increasing Access to Dental Insurance Act:
- "Oral health is key to our overall health and wellness, and people with coverage seek preventive oral care more than those without.
- Unfortunately, people can only buy dental insurance through the federal exchange when they also buy medical coverage.
- Enabling people to purchase a standalone dental plan without requiring the purchase of a medical plan will increase access to dental care for many Americans who already have medical coverage through other means.
- We applaud Senators Maggie Hassan and Roger Marshall for introducing the Increasing Access to Dental Insurance Act.
