OHA seeks public comments on dental pilot project rules amendment

 

The Oral Health Program at the Oregon Health Authority Public Health Division is seeking public comment on proposed changes to the rules for Dental Pilot Projects. The objective is to clarify the rules so that applicants and approved projects can better understand the requirements and possible consequences for failing to adhere to requirements.

Due to reorganization and significant amount of revision to the rule text, OHA is proposing to repeal administrative rules 333-010-0400 through 333-010-0470, and replace them with new rule language, administrative rules 333-010-0700 through 333-010-0820.

Written comments will be accepted until 5 p.m. October 31. A public hearing will be held at 1 p.m. October 16, in Room 1C of the Portland State Office Building at 800 NE Oregon St., Portland.

For information on how to provide public comments, please see the hearing notice on the OHA website.

The Dental Pilot Project Program encourages the development of innovative practices in oral health care delivery systems in Oregon, with a focus on providing care to populations that have the highest disease rates and the least access to dental care.
