Extra Support from WSDA Advocacy Champions Strengthens Dental Benefits Reform Efforts

Jun 2, 2025
New in 2025, members could go above and beyond to champion advocacy efforts with generous extra support for the Association. WSDA would like to thank our 2025 Advocacy Champions for their extra support during the successful first phase of our ongoing campaign for dental benefits reform!

Last month, Washington Governor Bob Ferguson signed WSDA’s dental benefits reform legislation, Senate Bill 5351, into law. The result of WSDA’s most comprehensive and aggressive dental benefits reform campaign in Association history, Senate Bill 5351 makes meaningful progress on major dental benefits policy issues, including same-day denials, virtual credit cards, dental loss ratio and non-network reimbursement fairness.

WSDA would like to thank our 2025 Advocacy Champions for their extra support during this successful first phase of our ongoing campaign for dental benefits reform!

New in 2025, members could go above and beyond to champion advocacy efforts with generous extra support for the Association by adding an additional $250 donation to their 2025 membership renewal.
