Fee Splitting
 

The Virginia Dental Association has a Code of Professional Conduct and Ethical Behavior. This is something the VDA takes very seriously. We believe that our member dentists  put the interest of their patients first. The VDA works to keep our members aware of and in tune with these beliefs.

 Fee Splitting, we believe, is one of those principles that all dentist should abide by, not just members of our Association. Because the VDA has no jurisdiction over non-member dentists,  we ask the Board to do its part to "Protect the Public" and create regulations that discourage fee splitting.
