Title
Case #15-17 Dental Request
Report
Issue:
Whether to approve payment for dental work for LEOFF member and what amount.
Staff Contact:
Carl Watts, Personnel Analyst, General Government, Human Resources, 360.753.8305
Background:
The board must decide whether to approve the request for dental work for $597. The member had tooth decay and this caused him to need a crown. Failure to treat would lead to further medical problems. These issues are preventing the member from properly chewing his food. This in turn has an impact on nutrition. The cost exceeds the allowable amount of $600/year for regular dental care. This is in accordance with LEOFF I policies and procedures.
