Clinic/OHAF Update 16 Mar 2026
by Trenna Reeve 16 Mar '26

16 Mar '26

To all students, 1. OHAF update - the OHAF grant has been extended. What does this mean? * Any OHAF application that HAS BEEN APPROVED - you have until the end of this academic year to complete treatment - you do not need to have treatment completed by 31 March as was the case before the grant extension. You have until the end of this academic year (May 2026). * BUT - We have NOT been given any more funding, so OHAF applications that have not been approved to date will still NOT be approved. If you have submitted and OHAF application and it has NOT BEEN APPROVED I would recommend that you speak with the applicable course coordinator to see if other funding opportunities might be possible (endowment funds). 2. As we get closer to the end of the academic year be reminded that it is the student's responsibility to follow up with their patients regarding any outstanding balances on the patient account. 3. We will continue to screen patients. When the front desk is booking the screening appointments they are letting the potential patients know that they will not be assigned to a dental/dental hygiene student until the fall and thus if they have a dental emergency they must seek treatment in a private practice office until they are assigned to a student in the fall 2026. Please ensure you also discuss this with any patient that is screened and accepted. Have a great week. Trenna M.

13 Mar '26

Hello DH3, I have a regular patient: PSR3, 1L/1L/1L, full dentition, that requires dental hygiene care. He is only available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday afternoon. Can anyone accommodate this patient with some open Monday afternoon appointments or alternatively, need patient numbers and could see this patient in Additional Clinic week where there are more afternoon appointments available?

13 Mar '26

Hello DH3 and DH2! I just wanted to send a reminder that all dispositions are to be put on hold for now. We will go over your remaining lists at clearance time. If you have sent me a disposition, I am working on them and will try to get them done as soon as possible. There has been a huge amount of dispositions in the last 24 hours, so you will see some delays. If there is anything urgent, please come to my window as I may not see your urgent msg quick enough. Have a great weekend! Sabrina

Updates from Clinic Forum
by Angela Rosales 04 Mar '26

04 Mar '26

Hello DH3, I have some updates following clinic Forum on Wednesday that I thought would be helpful to send directly. Regarding Charts in Review: * Sabrina did confirm that Charts in Review are in a holding pattern and cannot be dispositioned. Continue to check to see if the chart review is resolved but you won't be able to disposition them until the Chart Review is completed. Recall Exam Charges: * Please see guidance from Dr. Reeve below: We have 3 main treatment codes for adult dental exams. 1. 01201 - comprehensive tx plan - new patient exam or when a recall exam has not been completed within the last 24 mos 2. 01202 - recall exam - exam for patients of record - every 12 mos but no greater than 23 mos otherwise it should be coded as 01201 3. 01202U - recall exam no charge. Sometimes patients will have a comprehensive exam or recall exam completed in Term 2 of one academic year and then they are assigned to a different dental student in Term 1 of the next academic year. In this type of situation the new student must update the treatment plan and because the exam has already been done within a 12mos period then we do a recall exam no charge. All exams procedure codes are entered at the time the exam is completed and are charged accordingly. * Going forward, please advise your patients that there is a fee associated with an exam.

Clinic Updates 2 Mar 2026
by Trenna Reeve 02 Mar '26

02 Mar '26

Dental and Dental Hygiene Students, OHAF Update 1. Approved OHAF funding * OHAF patient funding that has ALREADY been approved can proceed. * For procedure codes that are currently approved any minor changes such as 25 DO restoration changes to 25 MOD, or NPP3 becomes an NPP4 these changes can proceed without having to be reapproved. 2. Unapproved OHAF funding * Any treatment funding requests that have not already been approved WILL NOT be approved. * If the treatment you are asking to be funded is required to meet a course requirement, please send me an email explaining your situation. I will review your request with the course coordinator and the PCCs to determine what options are available. 3. Lab codes need to be swiped to Complete on the date of delivery. * If you accidentally have the Lab code swiped Complete ahead of the delivery, submit a Correction Card ASAP. The code will be set back to In process and available for you to swipe as Complete at the delivery appointment. 4. Reception/PCCs do not make any edits to patient charts. This must be done by the provider ahead of the delivery appointment. 5. D4 Hygiene Rotation – Recall Exam Codes are not being swiped during the D4 Recall rotation. Ensure that you are completing all forms including the recall or CTP codes. * You can leave the treatment plan swiped by the instructor and not signed by the patient. * When the patient is assigned to a dental student, that new dental student must review and confirm they agree with the treatment plan and at then either have the patient accept and sign the original treatment plan or create a new treatment plan if it needs to be modified. 1. Swipes before checking out at reception – all dental and dental hygiene students must enter a treatment code and treatment notes for each clinical session. You can in-process treatment codes multiple times. Please let your instructors know that they must swipe the procedure code BEFORE you dismiss your patient. 2. Send an email to request co-assignment/transfer between years to your course coordinator with PCC and classmate cc’d to email. Include details of the transfer. For D3 and D4 students, include Dr. Reeve in your email request. 3. Grade Card/Evaluation Forms – Confirm you are being graded for the proper Discipline and on the correct Grade Form to ensure accurate grades. If you notice an error, inform your grading instructor and ask them to redo on correct form. Submit a correction card asap. Have a great week! Trenna M.
