Missouri Society of Orthodontists
Missouri’s legislatiive session ended with some success and some disappointment for Missouri dentists. An item that passed was the Prompt Paw Law for insurance companies. Many budget cuts were made. Fortunately, the cuts missed dental Medicaid. Legislation prohibiting capped fees on non-covered services failed (HB 1620). The bill never received a committee assignment by the Speaker of the House. An amendment was added to HB 1713 that required insurance companies to directly reimburse providers outside of their networks. Insurance companies were opposed to both these bills and spent a lot of time lobbying against them. For more information refer to May/June 2010 Focus magazine or www.MODENTAL.org Every active Missouri dental license expires November 30, 2010. The Missouri Dental Board will be mailing notices explaining the steps to take to renew licenses. It is important to have a current address listed with the Board. The continuing education requirement is 50 hours from Board approved CE sponsors. Another important requirement is current certification in Basic Life Support. The next Missouri Society business meeting will be 8:00 a.m. Thursday, September 23 at the MSO meeting with the Southern Association of Orthodontists in Colorado Springs, September 22-26, 2010.
