What National Association of Dental Plans does
Mission
NADPs mission is to promote and advance the dental benefits industry to improve consumer access to affordable, quality dental care. NADP was originally founded in 1989 to serve the dental HMO industry. The organization moved its headquarters to Dallas in 1994 and a year later broadened its membership to include DPPOs. Expansion of its membership base continued in succeeding years with the addition of dental discount plans in 1995 and indemnity programs in 2001. For the past decade NADP has served as the representative and recognized resource of the dental benefits industry. Our members include national commercial carriers, regional and single state plans, companies organized as not-for-profit service plans, interested individual members, dental practice management companies and supporting member organizations that provide products & services to the dental benefits industry. Our four major programs are research, education, government relations, and collaboration.
As stated on its FY2025 Form 990.
Programs
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS - NADP directly represents the dental benefits industry before Congress and federal agencies. It also supports and engages in limited state level representation. State level representation is largely handled by member plans or partnerships with other national or state organizations/coalitions.
EDUCATION - NADP provides webinars and executes an annual conference to provide educational content on current issues and trends for members. As well, NADP presents to other organizations of brokers, consumers, dentists, and educators on issues relating to the dental benefits industry.
RESEARCH - Much of the material that is presented to outside groups and that is used to respond to the press is derived from NADPs annual suite of statistical reports on the dental benefits industry and shared research that is funded by participants and conducted by NADP. NADP ALSO PERIODICALLY FIELDS SINGLE ISSUE SNAPSHOTS ON KEY INDUSTRY ISSUES.
COLLABORATION - NADPs role under collaboration is serving on various national and international groups that are involved in the setting of standards and transaction guidelines for the dental benefits industry in the areas of procedure codes (CDT), diagnosis codes (SNODENT), and EHR reporting (ICD), quality measures, and electronic data interchange for claims processing, electronic funds transfer and electronic health records.
The 4 programs described on its FY2025 Form 990, listed largest first by expense.
The organization over time
Each line starts at 100 in 2017, so what you read is the shape rather than the size: 150 means half as much again as 2017, 50 means half. The number beside each label in the key is where it ended. The shaded band is where the middle 50% of its peers' revenue would sit, given their growth.
Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2023 to 2024, from $4.7M to $6.1M (+31%).
How it's funded, over time
Each bar is one year's revenue split into where it came from, and every bar is the same height — these are shares, not amounts, so a year that raised twice as much looks the same size. Hover a bar for the split.
0% of NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF DENTAL PLANS’s revenue is contributions — more earned-revenue than three-quarters of its peers (61% for the typical peer).
Surplus & reserves
Operating surplus or deficit each year, and months of liquidity in hand. 1 of the last 9 reported years ran a deficit.

The officers, directors, trustees and key employees listed on each return. Joined and no longer listed compare each filing with the year before, matching people by surname and first initial; a year after a gap, or a roster under three people, has no comparison.

the vertical line marks half of all grant income — 1 funder to its left
100% of the income these shares are computed over arrives through pass-through sponsors or from payers whose filings do not say what kind of payment it is. Concentration is still measured over all of it, because the money is real; what it does not support is a claim about how many institutions have chosen to fund NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF DENTAL PLANS.
Largest funder’s share by year: 2017 100% · 2018 100% · 2019 100% · 2020 100% · 2021 100% — broadly stable.
