Orange County Head Start/Early Head Start <br /> Chapel Hill Training-outreach Project,Inc. <br /> 800 Eastowne Drive,Suite 105 <br /> ® Chapel Hill,North Carolina 27514 <br /> Telephone:(919)490-5577 Ext:242 <br /> Fax:(919)490-4905 <br /> www.chtop.com <br /> October 11, 2011 <br /> Anne Hill,Administrative Officer <br /> Orange County Health Department <br /> 300 West Tryon Street <br /> Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br /> Re: 2011-12 Agreement for Dental Services for Orange County Head Start <br /> near NAs, Nil!, <br /> Thank you for providing a proposed contract for 201-12. After meeting with dental clinic personnel to <br /> discuss the clinic's availability and based upon the previous two years of services needed for Head Start <br /> children without a dental home, we are proposing the following revisions to the agreement: <br /> On page 2 of 4, Section Number 7 <br /> 7. The OCHD will submit a bill for dental services to Angela Wilcox, Director, OCHS/EHS, in the amount of <br /> 4000 on an annual basis. OCHS/EHS agrees to pay the OCHD in two installments,$2,000 by December <br /> 31, 2011, and the remaining 2000 by June 30, 2012, upon receipt of OCHD original invoice. The dental <br /> services will include initial screenings to five OCHS classrooms to a total of 80 children and dental exams <br /> and follow-up services needed for 20-25 Head Start children who do not have a dental home and are <br /> eligible for Medicaid billing. <br /> We based our estimate of 20-25 on the previous two years of contracting with the OCHD. We are seeing <br /> that many more of our Head Start children do have a dental home upon enrollment,which is a good <br /> thing and means that both of our programs are probably making a positive difference! So,we based <br /> the payment amounts on the following estimates: <br /> 20-25 dental clinic visits at$100/visit= $2500 <br /> 15 hours of classroom screenings and education at$100/hour= 1500 <br /> TOTAL=$4000 <br /> Please advise m: as to the next srEp• We have ucell +ii i.0iirdc.t wllil tlii dental Clfillc and are WUr" Ing <br /> with them on scheduling clinic visits. Due to staff shortages,they were not able to consider starting <br /> clinic services to our children until the end of October. <br /> I can be reached at 490-5577 Ext. 247 to discuss the next steps. Or you may email me at <br /> awilcox@chtop.org Thank you for working with us to better serve Orange County families. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> Angel Wilcox, Director <br /> Orange County Head Start/Early Head Start <br />
