D4 Practice Solutions created this spreadsheet for health centers to compute the value of employee benefits.

This spreadsheet, created by D4 Practice Solutions, is a sample of revenue and expense projections for a 6-operatory facility.

Understanding the specific procedures that should and shouldn't be on Form 5A can be complex. This spreadsheet has a breakdown of every CDT code as of 2020, along with the specific definitions, pulled from the HRSA Compliance Manual for each Service Level. This spreadsheet should be used as a guide when creating your Sliding Fee Scale and its categories as well as how to define what is on your Health Centers Form 5A.

Live Webinar 1/20/22

Beginning January 2022, health care facilities and providers must give their patients upfront information on the costs of their services ahead of time. This is the Good Faith Estimates resolution as part of the No Surprises Act. This new resolution has important implications for community health centers. This webinar will provide an overview of good faith estimates for dental programs and describe strategies to be in compliance with this new resolution.

This publication describes alternative payment models in health centers (published in 2018).

Co-sponsored by NNOHA and the National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health (NOSORH), this webinar discusses the basic key fundraising terms and the difference between fundraising and development, the type of fund development plan you need to accomplish your goals, and specific fundraising ideas you can implement at your organization. 

These forms, developed by Janet Bozzone, DMD, MPH, are used to demonstrate the total salary of employees including the monetary amount of their benefits. To use the tool, input the amounts in the red areas. The worksheet will auto-calculate the rest.

This promising practice provides an example on how to develop an efficient schedule.

This factsheet provides an overview of Good Faith Estimates for CHC dental programs including frequently asked questions and example scenarios.

This promising practice describes Neighborcare Health’s project to decrease its no-show rate.

NNOHA conducted a Learning Community Call on “No-Show Management,” a forum that allows Health Center members of the Strengthening the Oral Health Initiative (SOHSN) to connect with other programs in the initiative to discuss their challenges and promising practices around the topic.

This promising practice is a no-show policy that guides the management of dental patients who do not keep appointments or cancel without sufficient notice (defined as less than 24 hours) and maximizes access to care for those patients who are responsible about keeping appointments.

This chapter provides a general overview of the Health Center financial structure for oral health programs.
