Dental Fee Guide as the basis of payment for ARTA ’ s Dental Care plan , which was accepted by the board . Beginning April 1 , 2022 , ARTA began using the ADA & C Fee Guide for residents of Alberta and will use the most current fee guide each year going forward .

Always review your dental charges with your dentist , including asking which fee guide they use as their basis of charges or whether they use a standard fee guide at all . As mentioned previously , the ADA & C Fee Guide provides “ suggested ” rates only — dentists in Alberta may still charge a rate that factors in their individual practice . Having such a discussion could allow you to maximize your coverage under ARTA ’ s Dental Care plan and make your benefits go further .

Mel Deydey | President , MHADRTA

We have enjoyed five in-person general meetings with our members since September 2021 , with thirty to forty gathering each time . Many still feel uncomfortable meeting in person , and we respect that . Hopefully , one day we will all join together again .

At our general meeting on Wednesday , April 13 , 2022 , we were privileged to honour long-time MHADRTA member , Claire Sergeant , with a life membership . Claire has been a regular participant in our branch activities and has volunteered as a part of our phoning committee for many years , reminding members of upcoming meetings . She was presented with a certificate , a bouquet of flowers , and treated to lunch !

Our June meeting will be our annual general meeting at which time a new executive for 2022 – 23 will be elected . news & views SUMMER 2022 | 11
