📢 NCOHC is coordinating a Press Conference!

Next Tuesday (April 21) at 10am, we will gather in Raleigh to discuss a proposed bill, “Increase the Medicaid Reimbursement Rate for Dental Services.”

The bill is sponsored by Senator Gale Adcock, with Senators Jim Burgin and Kevin Corbin serving as co-sponsors, reflecting strong bipartisan support for improving access to oral health care in North Carolina.

This legislation represents an important opportunity to address longstanding barriers to care by increasing Medicaid dental reimbursement rates—an essential step toward expanding provider participation and improving access for patients across the state.
