QUICK TIPS FOR THE DENTAL OFFICE :
One of Your Most Valuable Benefits
Have you been missing out on a valuable member benefit ?
One of the most important benefits you receive as a PDA member is the information we provide you on key issues , and we are always striving to make this information as accessible as possible .
There are undoubtedly many regulations to remember surrounding the everyday operation of your practice . You may encounter questions with simple answers , or you may just prefer to have something in writing that you can refer to when needed .
PDA members have exclusive access to our Quick Tips for the Dental Office , which cover a wide range of topics , that raise the most questions from you and your staff . They are designed to provide essential information needed to comply with regulations related to a specific topic .
We recently added a new Quick Tip on Act 168 , otherwise known as non-covered services , which provides information on instances in which a provider participating with an insurance carrier is able to charge their full fee for dental services .
Other Quick Tips that are currently available are :
- Act 6 ( auto accident coverage ) - Advertising Regulations - Anesthesia Regulations - DEA Registration - Dental Hygienists - EFDA Regulations - Emergency Supplies - Informed Consent - Licensing - Offering Interpreter Services
- Opioids - OSHA - Patient Records - Radiology - Reporting Abuse - Taxable Dental Supplies - Title 23 ( patient custodial issues ) - Unprofessional Conduct - Waste Management
On the PDA Go mobile app , look for the Quick Tips folder , found in the Resources tab . On the website , look for the Quick Tips page , found underneath the Advocacy tab .
PDA staff is constantly updating and researching new topics to add to our quick tip resources . For more information , or to suggest a topic that you would like to see added to our quick tips , please contact Kathleen , or any other member of the Government Relations staff at ( 800 ) 223- 0016 .
