PATIENT RIGHTS and
NON-DISCRIMINATION NOTICE
We respect your rights as a patient and recognize that you are an individual with unique healthcare needs. As your partners in oral health, we have identified the specific rights you can expect while in our care.
PATIENT
PRIVACY
We protect the privacy and security of our patients’ health information in accordance with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA).
LANGUAGE ASSISTANCE
SERVICES
Our clinics will take reasonable steps to provide translation services to patients with limited English proficiency upon request. This service will assist with discussion of your dental care. Family or friends cannot act as translators.
RELEASE
OF RECORDS
Patients can receive copies of their dental record and/or radiographs (x-rays) upon request. A photo ID is required to process all requests for record release or transfer.
Under the Federal No Surprise Act, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance a good faith estimate of the bill for dental services.
UTHealth Houston School of Dentistry and UT Dentists are happy to provide estimates for services for patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance. In order to enhance accuracy when you request an estimate, please provide the procedure code (CDT/CPT) for the services that are of interest.
This information can be provided to you assigned clinic. It is important to ensure you are being provided an estimate for the appropriate treatment or procedure in writing (email or mail) within 2-3 business days.
For more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services
Additional Questions? Contact your assigned clinic.
The School of Dentistry works with community partners to reach the most vulnerable populations, because those who need oral health care the most are sometimes the least able to access it.
Our community outreach includes special projects (Give Vets A Smile, Give Kids A Smile®) and an adult mobile dental van, which makes visits throughout Houston and to East Texas through partnerships to treat patients who have limited access to care. These projects allow for community service learning for dental and dental hygiene students and residents by providing opportunities for social responsibility.
For more information, contact Community Outreach Director Margo Melchor, RDH, EdD.
