4 federally qualified health center shall maintain the records.
5 If a dentist ceases to be employed or contracted by the
6 facility, the dentist shall notify the facility administrator

12 may supervise and enter into agreements for public health
13 supervision with 4 public health dental hygienists. This shall

17 under public health supervision may perform only those duties
18 within the accepted scope of practice of dental hygiene, as
19 follows:
20 (1) the operative procedures of dental hygiene,
21 consisting of oral prophylactic procedures, including
22 prophylactic cleanings, application of fluoride, and

1 prescribed by rule of the Department.
2 Any patient treated under this subsection (b) must be
3 examined by a dentist before additional services can be
4 provided by a public health dental hygienist. However, if the
5 supervising dentist, after consultation with the public health
6 hygienist, determines that time is needed to complete an
7 approved treatment plan on a patient eligible under this
8 Section, then the dentist may instruct the hygienist to
9 complete the remaining services prior to an oral examination
10 by the dentist. Such instruction by the dentist to the
11 hygienist shall be noted in the patient's records. Any
12 services performed under this exception must be scheduled in a
13 timely manner and shall not occur more than 30 days after the
14 first appointment date.
15 (c) A public health dental hygienist providing services
16 under public health supervision must:
17 (1) provide to the patient, parent, or guardian a
18 written plan for referral or an agreement for follow-up
19 that records all conditions observed that should be called
20 to the attention of a dentist for proper diagnosis;
21 (2) have each patient sign a permission slip or
22 consent form that informs them that the service to be
23 received does not take the place of regular dental
24 checkups at a dental office and is meant for people who
25 otherwise would not have access to the service;
26 (3) inform each patient who may require further dental

8 (d) Each public health dental hygienist who has rendered
9 services under subsections (c), (d), and (e) of this Section
10 must complete a summary report at the completion of a program
11 or, in the case of an ongoing program, at least annually. The
12 report must be completed in the manner specified by the
13 Department of Public Health Oral Health Section including
14 information about each location where the public health dental
15 hygienist has rendered these services. The public health
16 dental hygienist must submit the form to the dentist providing
17 supervision for his or her signature before sending it to the
18 Division. The Department of Public Health Oral Health Section
19 shall compile and publicize public health dental hygienist
20 service data annually.
21 (e) Public health dental hygienists providing services
22 under public health supervision may be compensated for their
23 work by salary, honoraria, and other mechanisms by the
24 employing or sponsoring entity. Nothing in this Act shall
25 preclude the entity that employs or sponsors a public health
26 dental hygienist from seeking payment, reimbursement, or other

2 (e-5) A patient who is provided services under a
3 supervision agreement by a public health dental hygienist as
4 described in this Section does not need to receive a physical

6 health dental hygienist consults with the supervising dentist
