Dental Reimbursement Program - Family Health Centers at NYU Langone (FHC), as well as it’s partners Interfaith Dental Clinic, RiverStone Health, and Grady Health System, are seeking funding to help defray a portion of the unreimbursed costs incurred while providing oral health care services for low income people living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA). NYU Langone Hospital–Brooklyn, part of NYU Langone Health, is the sponsoring institution for the NYU Langone Dental Medicine Postdoctoral Residency Programs (NYU Langone Dental Medicine), which provides direct patient care at 340 training sites, including FHC, a Federally Qualified Health Center (FQHC) network in Brooklyn, NY. In particular, FHC provides high quality, affordable outpatient primary, oral, and behavioral health care, and rehabilitation and social services to patients living in local Hispanic, Black/Caribbean, Chinese, Russian, Polish, South Asian, and Arab neighborhoods. Interfaith Dental Clinic, RiverStone Health, and Grady Health System are separate organizations from NYU Langone Health, but are training partners with NYU Langone Dental Medicine. NYU Langone Dental Medicine programs assure access to a dental home for all patients regardless of the ability to pay for services or immigration status, including for PLWHA. Postdoctoral dental residents provide direct patient care in community-based facilities, including at the four organizations that are part of this application: FHC, Interfaith Dental Clinic, RiverStone Health, and Grady Health System. NYU Langone Dental Medicine residents provide direct oral health care for a diverse spectrum of PLWHA and promoted oral health equity in these communities and the nation. Populations served: This program works directly with low income PLWHA in:(1) Brooklyn, NY, (2) Atlanta, GA, (3) Billings, MT, and (4) Nashville, TN. Calculating Unreimbursed Costs: FHC, Interfaith Dental Clinic, and RiverStone Dental Clinic calculated non-reimbursed care by determining the normal fee-for-service charges before any discounts or sliding fee schedules for qualifying visits for people living with HIV/AIDS and subtracting the total income received. Grady Health System calculated non-reimbursed care by taking the normal fee-for-service charges of the institution and subtracting total RWA grant funding received plus additional payments from other PLWHA supportive revenue.
