The number of people covered by Medicare Advantage Plans has increased significantly in recent years. In fact, enrollment in publicly funded dental benefit plans, namely Medicaid and Medicare Advantage Plans, represent the segments of the dental benefits marketplace that have seen significant growth in recent years as enrollment growth in commercial or privately funded dental benefit plans has been modest at best.

In communication with patients, other practices or other practitioners there are certain circumstances where records can be requested, and it is important to understand your responsibilities when those scenarios arise. Ohio Revised Code section 3701.74, which includes dentists and dental hygienists by definition, is clear on one thing in this situation: patients have a right to review their records and/or obtain a copy of those records. Over the past few months, I have heard a few situations where patients were being asked to pay large amounts for their records or having records refused. I hope that this article will explain the requirements of what an office must do when a patient or their representative asks for records.
Ohio Revised Code section 3701.74, “Patient or patient’s representative to submit request to examine or obtain copy of medical record” states in pertinent part that a patient, patients’ personal representative, or an authorized person may request to examine or obtain a copy of part or all of a medical record. The request to view or obtain the records should be sent to the office holding the records and the request should be met within a reasonable time and the requestor should be allowed to view the records during normal business hours or be sent a copy. The only exception to this requirement is for a physician, psychologist, licensed professional clinical counselor, licensed professional counselor, independent social worker, social worker, independent marriage and family therapist, marriage and family therapist, or chiropractor which could deny the request based on the request being detrimental to the patient upon their professional judgement. Notice in the exception that dentists are not listed. The section further states that if a health care provider fails to furnish the medical record, the requestor may bring civil action to enforce their right to the record.
The other issue that is clear in the Code is that a health care provider may charge a fee that covers the cost to produce the record. ORC 3701.741, “Fees for providing copies of medical records” outlines the maximum fees an office can charge a patient or their personal representative. If the request is made by the patient or a patient’s personal representative, total costs for the copies shall not exceed the sum of (i) $2.74 per page for the first 10 pages; (ii) 57 cents per page for pages 11 through 50; (iii) 23 cents per page for pages 51 and higher; (b) With respect to data resulting from an x-ray, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), or computed axial tomography (CAT) scan and recorded on paper or film, $1.87 per page; (c) The actual cost of any related postage incurred by the health care provider or medical records company. The section also goes on to outline requests made by authorized persons outside of the patient or personal representative which adds a $16 fee for searching the records but the same costs per page and/or x-ray apply. This is a clear statement of what can be charged. It is important to remember that there are no exceptions to this and a patient’s outstanding balance or ability to pay is not a factor in producing the records.
Whether you are the office requesting records on behalf of a new patient, a patient yourself, or the office that is producing the records, it is important to understand these sections of the Revised Code and the possible actions that can be taken to ensure records are produced. The important thing to remember about all of this is that the law is in place to ensure that each patient has a clear right to view and obtain a copy of their medical records and not be charged exorbitantly for them. If a request comes into the office for records and it is from a patient or a personal representative, which could be another office that the patient is authorizing to obtain records, the documents must be produced or the office could face civil action.

A use tax is a tax on the storage, lease, rental or purchase of tangible personal property for which no sales tax has been paid. The use tax has been in effect in Ohio for several decades. The purpose of the use tax is to protect Ohio vendors from unfair competition from out-of-state sellers. In-state merchants are required to collect sales tax when selling to an Ohio resident or business. Without the imposition of a use tax, the incentive would be for Ohioans to always look out of state for office purchases.
The use tax is most common with purchases made from an out-of-state vendor who does not charge sales tax; however, the use tax also applies to purchases within Ohio when not enough sales tax was charged. The use tax rate is equal to the sales tax rate in the county where the purchaser uses the property.
Service providers such as medical and dental offices are not exempt from the use tax. In fact, Ohio law specifically mentions dentists as falling within the definition of a consumer for purposes of the sales and use tax. The law outlines that those purchases made by dentists, physicians and other health care providers in connection with the practice of medicine and dentistry are taxable.
The department specifically identifies the purchases of medical equipment, gloves, masks, scrubs and other supplies as being subject to the use tax in its informational publication on service providers and the use tax. The purchase of office equipment such as computers, printers, desks, chairs and lamps, and the purchase of cleaning supplies, lawn care services and janitorial services are also subject to taxation. Finally, the department also considers the purchases of dental prosthetics, either with or without a prescription, from dental laboratories to be taxable.
In most instances, a sales tax is paid by the dentist at the time of purchase of these products. However, if no sales tax is paid, the purchase is subject to the state use tax. It is important for dentists to work with a tax professional to determine if use tax may be due and to begin the process to file payments.

State regulations and the profession’s ethical code govern all types of dental advertisements. Television and radio spots, websites and all categories of print advertisements, including newspaper, magazines, yellow pages, signs, school or church bulletins, billboards and other mediums, are subject to regulation. There are several general rules that dentists should follow when engaged in advertising of any kind to avoid difficulties.
First and foremost, advertising must be truthful and accurate. State regulations and the American Dental Association’s “Principles of Ethics and Code of Professional Conduct” (“Code”) require that dental advertisements avoid statements that are false or misleading in nature.
Second, dentists should clearly announce to the public which dental practitioners are offering services in an office. Board rules require that the names and conferred degrees of all dentists offering to practice dentistry within a facility be listed prominently at the front or main entrance of the practice. The names of deceased or retired dentists should not be posted at the front or main entrance or be utilized in advertisements of any kind.
Dental board rules also require that all advertisements contain the name of the owner(s) of the dental practice and the dental degree that the owner was conferred. This requirement extends to any print, broadcast or Internet advertising (websites, social networking sites, etc.) and to any signs located outside of the office.
Third, the public should be aware of the level of training of the dentist advertising services. Accordingly, dental board rules require all specialists to list their ADA recognized specialty directly after or below his or her name in all advertisements. General dentists are also advised to list the term “general dentist” directly after or below their name in all advertisements. This is because board rules prohibit statements made by general dentists that advertise the rendering of specific dental services unless the advertisement also includes the phrase “general dentist.”
Use of the terms “family dentist,” “cosmetic dentist,” or “implant dentist” should be avoided. The board considers these terms misleading because they imply a level of specialty training to the public that is not recognized by the ADA. However, a dentist could use the phrase “family dental services,” “cosmetic services,” and/or “implant services” or similar derivations provided the term “general dentist” or the ADA-recognized specialty designation appears directly after or below the dentists’ name. General dentists may also advertise the provision of ADA-recognized specialty services if the term “general dentist” is used.
The board’s rules also address advertising in telephone books and other directories. Dentists are prohibited from advertising under telephone book headings that are not ADA-recognized specialties (i.e. cosmetic) or ADA-recognized specialties unless the dentist is a specialist in that area.
Finally, dentists should pay close attention to their advertising practices. A dentist is responsible for all content and placement of advertisements. Board rules require dentists to maintain in the office, for a period of at least two years, a copy of all advertising from print or broadcast media or via the Internet.

Dentists must proceed with caution when interacting with government regulators. The Ohio State Dental Board, Ohio Department of Health, DEA, Ohio Board of Pharmacy, Ohio Attorney General’s office, Ohio Environmental Protection Agency and other government entities all have some level of regulatory authority over a dental office and can impact an office’s ability to operate.
The Ohio State Dental Board is the primary regulator for the practice of dentistry. Accordingly, dentists should take all interactions with the board very seriously. Your dental license is your livelihood. The board’s primary purpose is to protect the public and investigate allegations of poor dental care and violations of safe practice standards.
Licensees may find themselves interacting with the board for several reasons. The most common disciplinary matters involve the failure to renew a license, substance abuse problems, standard of care deficiencies, CE violations and inappropriate prescribing.
While regulators are certainly not out to get dentists, it is generally best practice to minimize interaction with government regulators. If a dentist has a question about regulations or compliance issues, it may be best to consider contacting the ODA or another third party to obtain the information. As the saying goes: “out of sight, out of mind” and when dealing with government regulators that may not be a bad thing.
The ODA has created a regulatory compliance guide to help ODA members ensure they are in compliance with Ohio regulations. To download the guide, click here.

The topic of electronic health records (EHR) continues to cause confusion for many dental practices. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009, known commonly as the “stimulus bill,” authorized the federal government to create an incentive program to promote the use of EHR, but did not require the use of EHR by providers.
Dental offices that participate in the Medicaid program or are providers through Medicare may be eligible for monetary incentives if the offices adopt an EHR system that meets a “meaningful use” standard. “Meaningful use” has three general requirements; 1) the EHR must be “certified” and be usable in a meaningful way, such as for e-prescribing, 2) the EHR must be able to engage in the electronic exchange of health information in a way that improves quality of health care, and 3) the dentist must submit information on clinical quality measures.
If dental offices do convert to EHR, there are a few issues to consider. First, any EHR must be able to track the “chain of custody” of a record. This means that the system should record and archive the time, date and author of any changes to a patient chart. This tracking mechanism could prove important in future treatment decisions or in the defense of a lawsuit or other inquiry.
Second, dental offices must consider how the EHR information is stored and account for its safeguarding. Password protections, server integrity and backup are all issues to address with prospective EHR vendors. A data breach in an EHR system can be devastating for a practice.

A new law, which went into effect September 23, 2022, requires prescriptions for schedule II-controlled substances to be done electronically. However, those prescribers who write 50 or fewer schedule II prescriptions per year are exempted from the requirement. There are also exceptions in situations where it is impossible to write an e-prescription, such as dealing with power outages or internet connection issues.

For those dentists who plan to write 50 or fewer schedule II prescriptions and do not plan to use e-prescribing, it would be prudent to track the prescriptions written in case proof is required that the exception has been met. Dentists who prescribe more than 50 schedule II prescriptions in a year and do not do so electronically could be subject to a fourth degree misdemeanor.

The ODA has many opportunities for dentists to serve on councils and committees to help direct the organization and the profession of dentistry. For more information and to apply to become a volunteer leader with the ODA, click here.
Dental OPTIONS providers treat patients in need through donated and discounted care. Dentists have control over the number and type of patients they decide to treat. Referral coordinators link dentists with patients and take care of administrative tasks. For more information about the program, click here.
The ODA and ADA provide resources, services and guidance to help dentists plan and implement a Give Kids a Smile program at any time throughout the year. Give Kids a Smile programs range from basic screening and preventive care to full restorative. Dentists determine the type of care provided, location of the event, number of children they will see and the date of the event. If your office already partners with a school or community program to provide oral health education or free dental care, that event could count as a Give Kids A Smile event too. Instructions on how to hold an event can be found here. More information about Give Kids a Smile can be found here.
Dentists are encouraged to volunteer with the Dental OPTIONS and Give Kids A Smile programs to promote access to dental care in their local communities. For more information on how to get involved with these programs, see the questions above.
Volunteers are also needed to strengthen the dental safety net by providing care at dental clinics, access to care programs and other special events. Dentists can also earn volunteer CE credits for providing free care at qualifying programs: Volunteer CE Partners. The ODA Volunteer Connection webpage is dedicated to being a clearing house of programs in Ohio where dentists can earn volunteer CE. Click here to learn more.
