ABOUT MOPSS

MOPSS is a group of dedicated volunteers working to ensure fair dental coverage for all. For the past several years, MOPSS has partnered with elected representatives and patient advocacy organizations to pass legislation that will cover medically-related dental treatment in the Commonwealth. This coverage is especially critical to survivors of head and neck cancer, many of whom have ongoing treatment-related dental issues that can cost thousands of dollars. We most recently supported Massachusetts House Bill 1094, 193rd Massachusetts Congressional 2023-2024. The bill would have required insurers doing business in the Commonwealth to cover medically-related dental treatment. The bill got through to the Joint Committee of Health Care Financing before it was sent to study. We have ambitions to get a newly revised bill across the finish line for the 194th Massachusetts Congress. We are working to garner as much support as possible from the public and health care professionals.
