Having problems with message search?
Melanie,
Thanks for the reply.
I do have a few questions. First, do you do any direct billing of private dental insurance? Do you see OHP or Medicaid patients and do you know the person to contact to become an OHP or Medicaid provider?
Do you have a portable dental unit you bring with you to headstart or to the nursing home? I have seen portable units advertised in some of the dental hygiene magazines but I don't know anything about them. How do you handle sterilization? I was thinking of contracting to use a dentist's autoclave/chemiclave on a regular basis until I actually had a place to do my own sterilization.
Medically compromised, disabled, and semi- to non-ambulatory patients are my target right now, but I am still finalizing that. This may include some children and elderly, but my focus will not necessarily be either of those two groups. I just recieved my LAP license in the mail this
week, so I have been doing some footwork, alot of computer research, and brainstorming ideas until now. It is time to get going on putting the license to work now.
Thanks for info. If there is someone else around here targetting that population that you know of, I would be delighted to talk to them.
I appreciate your time, Karen

Any resourse ideas for me regarding the business aspect, must-have

Thanks for any info or ideas you want to share with me!
