Independent practice: an idea whose time has come./L'exercice autonome de l'hygiene dentaire: une idee qui a fait son chemin.


He must be independent and brave, and sure of himself and of the
importance of his work, because if he isn't he will never survive the
scorching blasts of derision that will probably greet his first efforts
--Robert E. Sherwood


ON SEPTEMBER 15, CDHA CDHA Capital District Health Authority
CDHA Canadian Dental Hygienists Association
CDHA California Dental Hygienists' Association
CDHA Center for Demography of Health and Aging
CDHA Connecticut Dental Hygienists' Association
 WAS PLEASED TO WELcome 100 members to the association's inaugural Independent Practice Workshop. This event marks an exciting new era for the profession and the association as independent practice is becoming a reality in many provinces.

The workshop is the first step in the development of a certificate program and online courses to promote business excellence for independent dental hygienists dental hygienist

. Due to the overwhelmingly positive response, the workshop will be repeated in Toronto at the end of January 2008. This program is one component of CDHA's initiatives to meet the goal established by the board of directors to provide resources for business success to our members. You will find more resources on the members-only website and in this issue of the journal, notably: an article on the history of the new self-initiation legislation in Ontario with a sidebar (1) A Windows Vista desktop panel that holds mini applications (gadgets) such as a calendar, calculator, stock ticker and Vonage phone dialer. It is the Windows counterpart to the Dashboard in the Mac.

Other areas CDHA is working on with regard to independent practice relate to third-party reimbursement Reimbursement

 of dental hygienists. Over the past six years, we have seen more and more willingness on the part of insurers to accept dental-hygiene claims from independent dental hygienists, although the progress has been slow. CDHA has been actively involved in the development of the National e-Claims Standard and our work will ensure any future standards will be applicable to dental hygienists. We also are working with software companies to expand their products to meet your needs and to establish a dental-hygiene electronic-claims-submission program.

With respect to claims payments Alberta Blue Cross will pay claims. Nationally, Sun Life, will pay most claims, although some policies still include the "supervision by a dentist" wording because of employer plans or because some of the old policies created by Clarica have the supervisory wording. The other two big, national players are Great West Life and Manulife. We are working with these companies and also communicating with the Canadian Life and Health Insurance Association to promote access to care by dental hygienists. The proclamation An act that formally declares to the general public that the government has acted in a particular way. A written or printed document issued by a superior government executive, such as the president or governor, which sets out such a declaration by the government.  in Ontario on September 1, which provides dental hygienists in Ontario with the ability to practice independently, will certainly draw the attention of these third-party payers. The federal-government benefit plans for civil servants, retirees and veterans all are now accepting dental-hygienists claims.

To keep informed of changes to third-party payment, I urge you to go to CDHA's members-only website, update your profile and ensure that we have your current email address See Internet address. . Our regular email news updates will keep you up to date. Please feel free to call me at any time should you wish a personal update or should you be experiencing any particular challenges. I am also very happy to hear success stories!

Best wishes as you actively consider your career options with an expanding array of opportunities to define your path forward.

LE 15 SEPTEMBRE DERNIER, L'ACHD ACCUEILLAIT AVEC plaisir 100 membres venus participer a son atelier inaugural sur l'exercice autonome de l'hygiene dentaire. Cet evenement marque le debut d'une ere prometteuse pour la profession et pour l'association puisque l'exercice autonome devient realite dans plusieurs provinces.

L'atelier constitue la premiere etape du developpement d'un programme de certificat et de formation en ligne visant a favoriser l'excellence dans l'exercice autonome de l'hygiene dentaire. Compte tenu de l'extraordinaire accueil dont il a joui, l'atelier sera offert de nouveau nou·veau

Le site Web reserve aux membres et cette edition du journal contien-nent diverses sources d'information a ce sujet, notamment un article sur l'histoire de la nouvelle loi ontarienne en matiere d'exercice autonome de l'hygiene dentaire, avec un encadre sur ce que comporte l'etablissement d'un cabinet, une rubrique documentaire comprenant plusieurs liens utiles vers vers

L'ACHD travaille egalement avec des societes informatiques pour que leurs produits repondent a vos besoins et pour qu'elles concoivent un logiciel de demande de remboursement electronique pour soins d'hygiene dentaire.

L'Alberta Blue Cross accepte les demandes de remboursement. La Sunlife en accepte la majeure partie a l'echelle nationale, bien que certaines polices exigent EXIGENT, or EXIGI FACIAS, practice. A writ issued in the course of proceedings to outlawry, deriving its name and application from the mandatory words found therein, signifying, "that you cause to be exacted or required; and it is that proceeding in an outlawry which, with the writ of  encore la <<supervision par un dentiste>> a cause des regimes des employeurs ou parce que certaines polices creees autrefois par Clarica contenaient le terme <<supervision>>. Nous travaillons avec les deux autres gros joueurs a l'echelle nationale, la Great-West et Manulife, et nous sommes egalement en contact avec l'Association canadienne des compagnies d'assurances de personnes inc. pour promouvoir l'acces aux soins prodigues par les hygienistes dentaires.

La proclamation du ler septembre, par laquelle l'Ontario octroyait aux hygienistes dentaires de la province le droit Le Droit (established on March 27, 1913) is a Canadian daily newspaper, published in Ottawa, Canada and is operated by Gesca since 2000. History
The newspaper was launched at that period as a tool to condemn Bill 17, an Ontario legislation that abolished education

Les regimes d'assurance qu'offre le gouvernement federal aux fonctionnaires, aux personnes retraitees et aux anciens combattants acceptent tous maintenant les demandes de remboursement des hygienistes dentaires.
