A dental working group at the District of Columbia Health Benefit Exchange Authority has published a dental options report that illustrates some of the choices exchange builders are making.
The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires federal regulators to work with officials in the District of Columbia and all 50 states to set up exchanges, or Web-based health insurance supermarkets, for individuals and small groups by Oct. 1.
Each plan sold in an exchange is supposed to offer coverage for an "essential health benefits" package. PPACA requires the package to include pediatric dental benefits.
