OHP now covers dental therapist services
Dental practices with licensed dental therapists on their care team can now bill OHP for the services they provide. To do this:
- The licensed dental therapist must enroll with OHA. To find the forms to complete and submit to OHA, visit the OHP Provider Enrollment page (search for "non-payable provider" forms).
- When billing for services provided by the dental therapist, the clinic must enter the therapist as the rendering provider.
To learn more about billing:
To provide care, dental therapists must
- Perform under the supervision of a dentist and
- Have a collaborative agreement with the supervising dentist on file with the Oregon Board of Dentistry. The agreement outlines the level of supervision and the dentist’s requirements for how the dental therapist will provide care.
