How CHC evaluates dental coordination readiness

CHC's dental coordination criteria focus on clear communication, written estimate categories, follow-up logistics, and a responsible non-clinical contact path. These criteria do not rank providers or replace clinical decision-making.

Who this guide is for

  • Patients who want to understand how CHC evaluates non-clinical coordination readiness.
  • Overseas families comparing dental options and worried about aftercare or communication gaps.
  • Dental providers who want to understand the type of coordination CHC is willing to support.

What to prepare

  • Ask whether the clinic can identify the treating dentist and provide written estimate categories.
  • Clarify what x-rays or photos are required before any appointment inquiry.
  • Confirm who handles English messages, deposit questions, refund boundaries, and aftercare coordination.
  • Keep a written record of quote assumptions, staged-treatment expectations, and provider-issued documents.

What CHC cannot do

  • CHC does not rank doctors or declare a provider the best option.
  • CHC does not accept personal payments or hidden inducements.
  • CHC does not replace clinical consent, diagnosis, or provider-issued treatment documentation.
