Why it matters for dental
Dental providers who treat refugees or unaccompanied children under ORR care may see revised mental-health and onsite health screening forms that could affect how patient health data are collected, shared, and billed; practices should review the new Onsite Health Intervention Form before the current approval expires in 2026.
Key points
- ACF/ORR proposes merging the two Public Health Investigation Forms (Active TB and Non-TB Illness) into a single Onsite Health Intervention Form.
- The 3-year extension request seeks OMB approval to continue use through 2026.
- Health information may now be shared with DHS under specific circumstances to maintain continuity of care.
- Dental clinics serving refugee populations should verify whether their intake or billing workflows need updates once the revised form is finalized.
