19.5 THSteps and ICF-MR Provision of Services
All THSteps and ICF-MR dental services shall be performed by the Medicaid-enrolled dental provider except for permissible work delegated to a licensed dental hygienist, dental assistant, or dental technician in a dental laboratory on the premises where the dentist practices, or in a commercial laboratory registered with the Texas State Board of Dental Examiners (TSBDE). The Texas Dental Practice Act and the rules and regulations of the TSBDE (22 TAC, Part 5) define the scope of work that dental auxiliary personnel may perform. Any deviations from these practice limitations shall be reported to the TSBDE and HHSC, and could result in sanctions or other actions imposed against the provider.
