Summary of Request:
The agreement with Samer A. Itani, DDS, Inc. provides coverage for dental expenses not covered by MediCal, including hospital admission and full anesthesia, for a youth in the child welfare system with complex medical and dental needs. A multidisciplinary care team conducted a comprehensive review of potential treatment options and engaged service providers to determine their ability to meet the youth’s specialized medical needs. Samer A. Itani, DDS, Inc. was identified as the only provider with the necessary capabilities, including hospital privileges to ensure access to appropriate medical support. Additionally, Samer A. Itani, DDS, Inc., is located within a reasonable distance, allowing for accessible service delivery.
The services must be prepaid prior to the dental appointment. All services are covered through the Flexible Family Supports and Home-Based Foster Care Funding as outlined in the All-County Letter No. 23-02 awarded to the County June 25, 2024. The youth meets the requirements of the funding by covering concrete costs to stabilize placement in a relative and tribally approved home.
