Why it matters for dental
Dental clinics that treat unaccompanied children under ORR contracts must adopt the new combined Medical/Dental Assessment Form and revised Serious Medical Procedure Request Form before the current OMB approvals expire.
Key points
- ACF Office of Refugee Resettlement is moving the Serious Medical Procedure Request Form into the Medical Assessment Form and Dental Assessment Form collection.
- ORR proposes to retitle OMB # 0970-0466 as Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) Unaccompanied Alien Child Health Forms.
- The proposed revisions aim to improve transparency, lessen burden, improve data quality, and ensure alignment with ORR requirements.
- ORR revised the request to include sharing of health information with DHS in specific circumstances to ensure continuity of care.
