How will dental education adapt to the third-party payment system? 1978

J H McLeran, and T V Gardner, and J C Montgomery

An increasing number of dental patients will contract for and pay a third party to assume the fiscal responsibility for their dental care. Dental schools, through faculty and students, regularly provide the most carefully monitored, high quality dental services. Dental schools must continue to provide these services in the most "deinstitutionalized" and personalized manner possible. Third parties, whether commercial or governmental, must assure their clients (dental patients) of comprehensive dental coverage and reimbursement policies that are realistic, equitable, and based only upon receiving quality coverage. The quality of the dental educational system is essential to the success of any dental health care program.
