Why Contribute to IDPAC?
With insurance reform and increasing Medicaid reimbursement rates being our top priorities for the 2024 legislative session, it is important we have a strong PAC behind us! We need to have as much political capital as possible when we meet with legislators to have tough conversations on increasing Medicaid reimbursement rates.
For us to be ready to have these tough conversations, we need to get to our $100,000 goal and put IDPAC in a position for success as we begin meeting with legislators. Make your impact on the future of dentistry in Iowa by contributing to IDPAC today!

Testimonials
"Supporting the IDPAC is the way in which we know the voice of Iowa dentists will be heard. Particularly in the current COVID-world and the post-COVID world, it is imperative to support IDPAC as I am very concerned that forces outside of dentistry will take advantage of the current situation to promote alternative dental practice models/providers to the harm of our practices, as well as the safety of our patients." -IDA Immediate Past President Dr. Nathan Hehr, Founder's Club contributor
“I have found that very few people in state government have any knowledge of modern dentistry and its value in a person’s health. I answer dental questions on an almost daily basis when the legislature is in session.

Why Do Iowa’s Dentists Need a PAC?
- Large state and national corporations—including insurance companies and their associations— have lobbyists at the Iowa Statehouse. These groups have vast resources, deep pockets, and an interest in cutting costs, slashing dental benefits, and otherwise getting between dentists and their patients. IDPAC defends your interests as a healthcare provider and the interests of your patients.
- By participating in IDPAC, you have the opportunity to send a message about dentistry’s key role in the health of Iowans, while supporting leaders who offer innovative solutions.
