DCOs and Legislators Ask for OHA Rule Change

Dentistry Would Be Mandated Through DCOs Until 2017

Mike Shirtcliff of Advantage Dental and two state legislators, Senator Alan Bates and Representative Tim Freeman have filed a petition with the Oregon Health Authority to require that CCOs must contract directly with Dental Care Organizations if they are to provide dental care to their members. The change would specifically prevent CCOs from contracting with any other dentist, dental hygienist, or dental organization.
