Dental contractors gain protections and responsibilities

The Oregon Health Authority must set dental subcontractor requirements and include them in its coordinated care organization contracts. Each organization must choose a board member representing a dental subcontractor it contracts with. The authority must consult both groups on oral disease prevention training, certification, and payment rules. It cannot require reports or information from these subcontractors without support in state or federal law, rules, regulations, or authority–organization contracts.
