FAQ
How does a person qualify to receive dental care through Dental OPTIONS?
Patients must meet income guidelines and not have any dental insurance or Medicaid. The patient follows the
application process and is case managed by a trained referral coordinator. Once eligibility has been determined,
the patient is matched with a nearby participating dentist.
How are fees determined?
Although a suggested fee schedule is provided for the Dental OPTIONS program,
you have the flexibility to negotiate the fee and any payment arrangements with the patient.
What if the patient needs more dental work than I am able to discount or donate?
After the initial exam, if there is any reason that you feel you cannot provide
the necessary dental treatment, inform the referral coordinator and he/she will make other arrangements
for the patient.
What if our local dental society already has a successful access program?
The referral coordinators work with the staff at the Ohio Dental Association to
determine which societies already have access programs, and what their respective guidelines are. If a
prospective Dental OPTIONS patient qualifies for one of these local access programs, they will be referred accordingly.
How do I enroll as a Dental OPTIONS provider?
Simply complete the enrollment form.
Once your form has been received, a referral coordinator in your region will follow up with you as soon as possible
