CONTRACT FOR DENTAL CARE
i983 9Ets-oreement Made and entered into this 28th day of December , 19 gq , by
and between the BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF THE COUNTY OF WELD, STATE OF COLORADO,
hereinafter referred to as "County" and THE WELD COUNTY DENTAL SOCIETY, hereinafter
referred to as "Society".
WITNESSETH:
For and in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations set forth herein,
the parties hereto mutually agree as follows:
1. Purpose.
The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the framework under which the
Dental Care Program of the Weld County Department of Social Services shall be
administered. The sum of $15,000.00 has been appropriated by County for said
program for calendar year 1984. It is the mutual agreement and understanding
of the parties hereto that the total amount to be paid by County during calendar
year 1984 shall not exceed said $15,000.00 and that when this budgeted amount
is depleted, no provision shall be made for further dental care services.
Participating dentists, as well as social services staff, must cooperatively
monitor use of this program in order to utilize the limited funds effectively
and efficiently.
2. Eligible Recipients.
County shall be responsible for payment for dental services provided by members
of Society to eligible recipients only after County has verified eligibility
either orally or in writing. Eligibility for such services under this program
shall be within the sound discretion of County, but shall be available only
where alternative resources such as MEDICAID, MEDICARE, or Old Age Pension
benefits are not available.
3, Qualifications of Providers.
Only members of Society who are in good standing in their accredited Society
and/or Association shall receive appointments as participating members of the
County's Dental Program.
4. Fees for Services.
A. Fees for services shall be charged by participating dentists in accordance
with the schedule set forth in Society's current "Fee Schedule for County Indi—
gents". Services shall be limited to emergency dental care and after providing
dental care relating to an acute episode, the dentist shall refer the patient to
available federally funded clinics in order to secure non—emergency care.
B. Prompt billing for completed services is imperative. No authorization shall be
made for billings which are submitted more than 120 days after the date services
were rendered.
— 2 —
C. The maximum coverage under the agreement shall be the sum of $100.00 per
person per year, and the patient shall be responsible for paying 10% of the
billed amount. Any charges in excess of $100.00 shall be the sole responsibility
of the patient/recipient. The dentist rendering services shall be responsible
for collection of any amounts for which the patient/recipient is responsible.
5. Adjudicating Committee.
The Adjudicating Committee, consisting of representatives of the Dental Society,
shall recommend policies and initiate procedures for this Dental Contract, and
shall review the billings and adjudicate, consistent with this Agreement, any
unusual fees. Decisions of this committee shall be final and binding to all
doctors who participate in this contract. It is expressly understood, however,
that any member of the Weld County Dental Society may be present at any meeting
of such committee and have full opportunity to examine the books to see that the
funds are divided fairly and without prejudice among all participating doctors
who have performed services. The members of this committee act only as agents
for the Society and in no case shall they be held personally liable for such acts.
6. Submittal of Vouchers.
Vouchers for payment shall be submitted to the Weld County Dental Society, c/o
Gilbert H. Sydney, DDS, PC; 1741 Greeley Mall, Greeley, CO 80631. When submitting
vouchers for payment, members of the Society shall itemize all costs. Together
with the itemized fees for services and laboratory costs, such statement must show
the recipient's name, description of services rendered, and the amounts paid by
the patient. Failure to comply with these provisions shall result in disapproval
of the charges by the Adjudicating Committee.
7. Members of Society Independent Contractors.
It is expressly understood by the parties hereto that members of the Society are
not employees of County but are independent contractors and shall be solely
responsible for their actions and those of their employees.
8. Amendment.
This agreement may be amended by the parties hereto at any time, provided such
amendment is reduced to writing, signed by both parties and incorporated herein
as an amendment.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on the day and
year first above written.314A1ATTEST: " '4^a'l BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
