Which of the following organizations is listed as backing the 1-year dental visit?

• A. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
• B. World Health Organization
• C. National Institutes of Health
• D. American College of Dentists

Answer: (A)

The main idea is understanding which organization has the authority to back or fund a standard preventive dental visit in practice. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services is the federal agency that administers Medicare and Medicaid and sets the coverage rules for dental services under those programs. This includes the preventive visits that states must provide under Medicaid, and the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic, and Treatment (EPSDT) requirements for children, which effectively support yearly preventive dental care as part of public coverage. The World Health Organization focuses on global health guidance rather than U.S. payer policy. The National Institutes of Health funds research, not coverage policies. The American College of Dentists is a professional organization with no direct role in backing national health service coverage.
