Local Dentists To Accept Allcare Patients
WEST VIRGINIA....
The West Virginia Board of Dental Examiners is seeking access to Allcare Dental & Denture patient records so treatment can be completed. Citing cash flow problems, Allcare shut down operations in West Virginia and 13 other states last week. Dental examiners board Executive Secretary Marc Harman says several dentists in West Virginia have volunteered to examine the records and prioritize patients. Patients who've paid for treatment can complete the care with dentists who've volunteered to do the work or have their records forwarded to their dentist of choice. Harman says the board is working out legal issues so dentists can enter Allcare's South Charleston office and review the records.
