The American Dental Trade Association Managed Care Task Force has provided an extensive study of the effects of reimbursement on the dental profession and the dental trade industry. There is great variety among the needs of patients and in the reimbursement plans available. ADTA is urged to take a leadership position to ensure that programs do not restrict access, value, or quality. The key to this strategy will be communicating a consistent message to dentists, patients, benefit managers, and the research community. The message is: "Responsible consumption of appropriate dental services."
美国牙科贸易协会管理式医疗特别工作组对报销对牙科行业和牙科贸易产业的影响进行了广泛研究。患者的需求以及现有的报销计划千差万别。敦促美国牙科贸易协会发挥领导作用,以确保各项计划不会限制医疗服务的可及性、价值或质量。这一策略的关键在于向牙医、患者、福利管理人员和研究界传达一致的信息。这个信息是:“合理消费适当的牙科服务。”
