DALLAS, June 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The American Association of Dental Office Management (AADOM) and the National Association of Dental Plans (NADP) are announcing a new collaboration to improve communication and address shared administrative challenges.
“NADP is excited about this new partnership because it aligns with our mission to promote access to quality, affordable dental care,” said NADP Executive Director Mike Adelberg. “When plans and dental offices work together, everyone wins, including the patients who are plan members.”
AADOM and NADP entered into a formal agreement in which NADP will provide AADOM educational and informational resources regarding dental benefits plans, including webinars, newsletter articles, educational resources, and an annual report.
In addition, the two associations have formed three joint committees to address key challenges facing dental offices and plans. The committees are comprised of members from both organizations and will focus on challenges related to claims processing, plan customer service, and virtual credit cards.
“By opening the lines of communication between our organizations, we will increase understanding, elevate professionalism, and enhance service to the organizations WE serve,” said AADOM Executive Vice President Jessica Cull.
