Each year, the Rowan County Health Department assesses fees associated with services, completes a cost analysis, and proposes a fee schedule to match any changes in costs. When reviewing costs for dental services and materials, increases ranged from 115% - 25%, likely due to supply chain issues related to COVID-19 and inflation. The adjustments to the Smile Center’s fee schedule are a proposed 5% increase added to all dental procedures for Medicaid, HealthChoice and private carriers to help offset the increased costs caused by the COVID19 pandemic.
Rowan County Health Department respectfully requests the Board of Commissioners approved the updated fee schedule. The Rowan County Board of Health approved the fee schedule on January 11, 2022.
