Title
Approval of Case 21-1 Dental Request
Report
Issue:
Whether to approve payment for dental implant for retired LEOFF 1 member in the amount of $2,340.00
Staff Contact:
Debbi Hufana, HR Analyst, Human Resources, 360.753.8149
Background:
The board must decide whether or not to approve the request for a dental implant for the member in the amount of $2,340.00.
The member had this dental work done and originally requested reimbursement in the amount of $600.00 as they were not aware the board could approve dental work over the amount of $600.00. Once the member became aware of this, they are requesting the full amount paid of $2,340.00. I made the member aware for future dental work over the amount of $600.00 the proper procedure is to submit the application for payment of services and the treatment plan to the board for approval prior to having the work done.
