  • Patient Inactivation Policy

  • After two (2) missed appointments, a standard letter will be sent to the patient stating the GCDO Inactivation Policy, as a warning letter.  A copy of this letter will be placed in the patients chart.

    A patient who has arrived more that 15 minutes late for a scheduled appointment (2) two times without notice will receive a standard letter, stating the GCDO Inactivation Policy, as a warning letter.  A copy of this letter will be place in the patient’s chart.

    A patient will be inactivated for cause, with a letter sent informing the patient of this fact, resulting in permanent inactivation unless that are extenuating circumstances to be determined by the Executive Director or appointed representative of the Board of Directors.

  • Inactivation is the result of one of the following:

    a)      After three (3) missed appointments without 24 hours notice, the patient will be permanently inactivated from GCDO.  A letter will be sent, and a copy of the letter will be place in the patient’s chart.

    b)      Missed appointments include not texting or calling to confirm your appointment by noon on the Thursday before your scheduled appointment date.

    c)      After (3) three late arrivals, the patient will be permanently inactivated from GCDO.  A letter will be sent, and a copy will be place in the patients chart.

    d)      A patient who has not been in for an appointment for 15 months will be referred to an outside dentist or program at their own cost unless there are extenuating circumstances to be determined by the Executive Director or an appointed representative of the Board of Directors.

    e)      Patients with balances owed (the $25 admin fee) for six (6) months or more must pay that balance in full before they will be considered for a next appointment.  In addition, the patient’s next visit must also be prepaid prior to the scheduling of that visit.

    f)       Patients who do not maintain dental care as prescribed by the dental hygiene staff may be inactivated for non-compliance. 

    g)      Canceling appointments with a Specialist without 24 hour notice to that Specialist and to GCDO will be cause for inactivation.

    h)      Failing to show up for an appointment with a Specialist will be cause for inactivation.

    i)        We reserve the right to inactivate those patients who are belligerent, argumentative, verbally abusive and/or willfully misrepresent themselves to our GCDO volunteers, staff or specialists to whom they have been referred.

    j)        After the treatment plan has been completed and acceptable dental health has been achieved, patients will be graduated and inactivated from the GCDO program and given resource letters for future treatment, if needed.

  • GULF COAST DENTAL OUTREACH DENTALCLINIC PATIENT AGREEMENT

  • Quality health care is an expensive and time-consuming effort, requiring a commitment of both this Dental Clinic and you, the patient. Gulf Coast Dental Outreach, Inc.is a private, non-profit agency. We are not government operated. Our mission is to make dental care accessible and affordable to the most people possible.

     

    APPOINTMENTS - Phone: 813-5793935, extension I03

    We offer patients reduced fees due to agreements with community volunteer dentists, hygienists and dental assistants. Occasionally, dental students, hygiene students and assisting students may be part of the overall team treating you. A Florida licensed dentist will always be present. Patients can expect to have lengthy appointments.

     

    You may be required to bring verification of inc.<>me to your appointment. Please do not bring small children to leave unattended.

    PAYMENT - We can only accept cash or checks for payment

     

    CONFIRMING APPOINTMENTS - We must have a confirmation to hold your appointment. We attempt to call everyone two days before their appointment.

     

    24 hours notice is required if you cannot make an appointment. Patients with numerous cancellations or no shows may be discharged from Gulf Coast Dental Outreach.

     

    EMERGENCY APPOINTMENTS - We do not have clinic every day. We are not an Emergency clinic. You may have to go to another office and pay for emergency treatment.

     

    DISCHARGE - Gulf Coast Dental Outreach, Inc. reserves the right to discharge a patient if the patient does not demonstrate commitment to participate in their own oral health. We can help you, but you must also agree to help us help you by taking care of your teeth at home.

    Sometimes this also includes changes in lifestyle or diet.

     

    We may refuse treatment to patients when we believe the treatment is beyond our scope of

    care of the providers, or if the patient requires so much care that they would be better served in a private dentist's office.

     

    Please remember to give thanks to the people who volunteer their time to provide your health care. We care about our patients and want to continue to serve you in the best way possible. Please treat us with the same respect we treat you.
