      <MissionDesc>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 &amp; services to the dental benefits industry. Our four major programs are research, education, government relations, and collaboration.</MissionDesc>

      <Desc>GOVERNMENT RELATIONS - NADP directly represents the dental benefits industry before Congress and federal agencies and provides support on issues at the state level that are largely handled by member plans or state organizations/coalitions. In the past 5 years, NADPs federal activities have centered on implementation of the ACA. NADP has engaged a federal lobby firm as well as law and actuarial firms to support this activity.</Desc>
      <ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp>
        <Desc>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.</Desc>

        <ExplanationTxt>The Organization is exempt from federal income taxes under section 501(c)(6) of the IRC. However, income generated from activities unrelated to the Organizations exempt purposes is subject to tax under IRC Section 511. The Organization did not have any material unrelated business income tax liabilities for the year ended December 31, 2018. Accordingly, no provision has been made for federal income tax. GAAP requires the evaluation of tax positions taken in the course of preparing the Organizations tax returns and recognition of a tax liability (or asset) if the Organization has taken an uncertain position that more likely than not would not be sustained upon examination by the Internal Revenue Service. Management has analyzed the tax positions taken by the Organization, and has concluded that as of December 31, 2018, there are no uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken that would require recognition of a liability (or asset) or disclosure in the financial statements.</ExplanationTxt>
