Local School Dental Sealant Programs: Compliance
(1)
A Local School Dental Sealant Program must notify the Program within 10 business days of any change that brings the Local School Dental Sealant Program out of compliance with the certification requirements. A Local School Dental Sealant Program must submit a waiver to the Program that includes:(a)
Explanation of the non-compliant requirement;(b)
Plan for corrective action; and(c)
Date for compliance.(2)
The Program will review the waiver request and inform the Local School Dental Sealant Program of approval or denial of the waiver within 10 business days of submission. Services may be provided until the Local School Dental Sealant Program has been notified of its waiver request.(3)
If the waiver is approved, the Local School Dental Sealant Program will be provided provisional certification and must comply with certification requirements by the proposed date of compliance.(4)
If a waiver is denied; a Local School Dental Sealant Program does not come into compliance by the date of compliance stated on the waiver; or a Local School Dental Sealant Program is out of compliance with certification requirements and has not submitted a waiver, the Program, in its discretion, shall:(a)
Require the Local School Dental Sealant Program to complete an additional waiver with an updated plan for corrective action and updated date for compliance;(b)
Require the Local School Dental Sealant Program to complete a waiver to satisfy the requirements in section (1) of this rule;(c)
Issue a written warning with a timeline for corrective action; or(d)
Issue a letter of non-compliance with the notification of a suspension or decertification status. The Program will notify the CCO operating in the community and Local School Dental Sealant Program schools that a Local School Dental Sealant Program has been suspended or decertified. Dental sealants may not be provided in the school until the Local School Dental Sealant Program is certified.(5)
A Local School Dental Sealant Program that had been decertified may be reinstated after reapplying for certification.(6)
A Local School Dental Sealant Program with suspended certification status may have its suspension lifted once the Program determines that compliance with certification requirements has been satisfactorily achieved. The Program will notify the Coordinated Care Organizations (CCOs) operating in the community and schools that the Local School Dental Sealant Program’s suspension has been lifted and that dental sealants may now be provided in the school.(7)
If there are updates to the current rules that require a Local School Dental Sealant Program to make any operational changes, the Program will allow the Local School Dental Sealant Program until the beginning of the next certification year or a minimum of 90 days to come into compliance.
