As a result, MDACs developed and implemented a campaign to augment and ensure the success of Medicaid expansion program centered on stakeholder and consumer outreach and engagement. The four principal strategies of this campaign include: (1) Engage statewide professionals and resource groups/centers on the new Medicaid adult dental benefit program, eligibility, and covered services. (2) Support the increase of Maryland Healthy Smiles Providers and Build Capacity of Medicaid Workforce. (3) Address consumer education, engagement, and participation in Maryland Healthy Smiles (MHS) program. (4) Analyze, assess, and recommend improvements to processes and coverage. 70989 165000 Medicaid Adult Dental Collaborative - The Maryland Dental Action Coalition (MDAC) formed the Medicaid Adult Dental Collaborative, comprised of representatives from social service agencies, FQHCs, county and state governments, non-profit organizations, associations, and academic research and educational institutions, to help ensure the success of the Maryland Medicaid Adult Dental Pilot Program that provides preventative, diagnostic, restorative dental services, as well as extractions, to approximately 35,000 Maryland adults who are dual eligible for Medicare and Medicaid. The purpose of the MDAC Collaborative is to support implementation of the pilot by (1) addressing provider engagement; (2) removing barriers to provider participation; (3) ensuring eligible adults are aware of their benefit and able to access a provider; and (4) helping ensure that services fit their oral health needs. 50000 Member Activities/Oral Health Summit 2023 -MDAC hosts an in-person summit on Expansion of Oral Health Coverage in Maryland - A Call to Action to Improve Health Equity.

MDAC members, partners, and oral health stakeholders statewide learned from peers and shared information on programs and strategies to address equitable access in care to achieve optimal oral and overall health statewide as well as in regional communities. 37500 50000 HealthEfficient a nonprofit organization that supports Community Health Centers and other safety net providers in improving clinical and operational performance through comprehensive data - was awarded a grant to develop a network and implement the Transforming Oral Health for Families (TOHF) Project. The purpose of the project is to demonstrate a promising model of Family-Centered Team-Based Primary Oral Health Care for children 0-40 months, their parents/caregivers, and pregnant women at Community Health Centers (CHCs) in four states/jurisdictions including the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and New York. Goals of the project are to: (1) increase oral health competencies for all relevant CHC providers serving the target populations; (2) increase CHC capacity for oral health case management and interprofessional collaboration to better address oral health risk factors and needs of the target population; and (3) increase the proportion of children 0-40 months who have access to preventive oral and or dental health care and the proportion of children who are caries free at 3 years of age. MDAC is the state jurisdiction project coordinator for Maryland. 34263 34263 Ava Roberts Pediatric Dental Symposium - MDAC will manage the arrangements and logistics support for implementation of the Annual Ava Roberts Pediatric Dental Continuing Education Symposium.

The current plan (2018-2023) builds on the oral health improvements achieved since the release of the first state plan in 2011, identifies critical remaining gaps, and outlines strategies to expand access to oral health care, prevent oral disease and injury, and improve the oral health and overall health of all Marylanders. Since the issuance of the first plan in 2011, the collective efforts of MDAC and its members, partners and oral health stakeholders statewide have made Maryland a model for the nation in improving the oral health of its children. The current plan centered on the need to do the same for adults. As a result, for the first time in over three decades, Maryland Medical Assistance Program provides comprehensive dental coverage to approximately 800,000 Marylanders through the Maryland Healthy Smiles Dental Program. Through stakeholder committees, MDAC is updating the MOHP to reflect accomplishments from the first plan and updating current goals and actions that further improve oral health equity for all Marylanders through access, integration of care, workforce development, literacy and education, and prevention. 96763 235065 294515 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 2 true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false X 12 12 false false false false true true false true true false false true true true true true true true false false X Mary Backley 4103125456 10015 Old Columbia Road Suite B-215 Columbia MD 21046 Mary Backley Chief Executive Officer 40.00 0.00 X X 85000 0 0 Salliann Alborn Director - Ex-Officio 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Nkem Okeke Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Shanika Cooper Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Loretta Hoepfner Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Daniel McEvily Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Brooks Woodward Past-Chairman 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Debony Hughes Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Alice Horowitz Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tresa Wiggins Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Lucciola Lumbruschini Vice Chairman 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Melinda Fredericks Secretary 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Joy Void-Holmes Treasurer 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Celeste Camerino Chairman 3.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 85000 0 0 0 false false false 36125 573680 609805 203 203 610008 203 0 0 X 85000 43798 20276 20926 50180 37827 12353 14977 9044 2246 3687 10511 6347 1577 2587 13959 13959 138218 138218 1318 1318 2495 2495 8897 3911 4986 22903 14513 3904 4486 771 771 329 329 2138 354 1639 145 Telephone 491 491 Special evenets 33203 33203 Other 5161 2225 2936 390551 294515 51852 44184 155246 386883 10200 13715 3116 3488 9583 7283 2300 172077 402871 13113 24450 13113 24450 X 101219 148034 57745 230387 158964 378421 172077 402871 219457 0 X false true X false false X 424993 328285 320051 338439 594630 2006398 15175 15175 424993 328285 320051 338439 609805 2021573 2021573 209 96 5 3 203 516 209 96 5 3 203 516 474 253 386 1113 425676 328634 320442 338442 610008 2023202 0.99920 0.99860 0.00000 0.00000 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 8000 8000 1600 400 false 1700 1700 1700 1600 6700 10050 425 425 425 400 1675 2513 4773 2473 2300 4810 4810 2300 610008 610008 610008 390551 390551 390551 Members or stockholder classes and rights Part VI line 6 Members are those who have expressed a commitment to the organizations mission; all have completed a membership registration form.
