nojobs in Toronto, Ontario said: Well, if there is little hope for the saturation in Ontario, and
the surplus continues to rise then the insurance companies may get on board and only allow limited periodontal scalings in a GP dental practice and allow scaling in an independent RDH practice, or under the ODHA fee guide.
I say this because Ford has only allocated 1 unit per 9 months of scaling, with the additional units in a perio office. This could
be considered a deterrent for some, yet benefiting the insurance company's bottom line. The ODHA fee guide is lower than the ODA..and business is business. For insurance companies to make
it slightly inconvenient for perio patients to have to go to two
providers, they will ultimately win. Also, with the rise in
the baby boomers, perio care will become more expensive as insurance companies will be cracking down on pre-determination
requirements.
What could happen as a result is an increase in retiring dentists owning independent dental hygiene practices, therefore cutting the throat of the new dentists on the block.
This surplus will be used to everyone and anyone's advantage.
It will remain to be seen as to whom ultimately gets the short
end of the stick. For now, it is the RDH who suffers the most.
Hi Nojobs,
Can you explain something to me....? Are you saying that the Ontario DHA's fee guide for a unit of scaling is less than a unit of scaling done in a dental office with the ODA's fee guide....? Can you tell me what the amounts/difference is.....? This would ultimately encourage patients to go to an independent practicing DH clinic than to a dental office using the ODA's fee guide....?
