Abstract: Section 510 of title III of the Caregivers and Veterans Omnibus Health Services Act of 2010 (section 510) requires VA to establish a new program to offer private, premium-based dental insurance to enrolled veterans and certain survivors and dependents of veterans. Section 510 requires VA to contract with a private insurer (using the Federal contracting process) to offer dental insurance, and the private insurer will be responsible for virtually all aspects of the administration of the dental insurance program.
