CONTRACT FOR DENTAL CARE
This agreement made and entered into this 23rd day of December , 1985, 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 $8,000.00 has been appropriated by County for said program for calendar year
1986. It is the mutual agreement and understanding of the parties hereto that the
total amount to be paid by County during calendar year 1986 shall not exceed said
$8,000.00 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 the
Society to eligible recipients only after County has verified eligibility either in
writing or orally. 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. For all
applicants for services who are over the age of 60, the Colorado Old Age Pension Dental
Program shall be utilized.
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 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 Indigents".
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 submitted more than 120 days after the date of service.
C. The maximum coverage under the agreement shall be the sum of $60.00 per person per
year, and the patient shall be responsible for paying 10% of the billed amount.
Any charges in excess of $60.00 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.
a -
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, P.C., 3705 West 12th Street, Greeley, Colorado 80634. 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-
recipient. 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 amend-
ment 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 written above.‘ThATTEST: al reua�t�ar,.• BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
