PAGD Keystone Explorer Spring 2020

20 www.pagd.org \ advocacy A requirement for collaborative practice agreements was discussed. Board counsel noted that to require collaborative practice agreements in this regulatory package would expand the scope beyond the three additional practice sites and would require the board to restart the regulatory process. Many board members supported the concept. Dr. Erhard noted the seminal nature of this vote. He defined care in dentistry as relieving of pain and restoration of function. By this definition, this regulatory expansion does not solve access to care and could create a false sense of security among the public. Board counsel urged the board to act to either move forward with the amended regulations or stop the regulatory process altogether. After significant discussion, the board voted unanimously to require PHDHP practice in physicians’ offices to be limited to those in DHPSAs.
