Dental readiness... AZARNG has a requirement to ensure medical readiness for 5,100 Service Members by providing services directly promoting comprehensive medical readiness, ensuring global deployability. Dental readiness directly impacts deployability of soldiers. Soldiers coded as Dental Readiness Code (DRC) 3 are non-deployable due to having oral conditions that will most likely result in a dental emergency within 12 months if not treated. Utilizing a contracted dental office for extensive treatment services would greatly improve the AZARNG’s ability to deploy soldiers and prevent oral conditions from worsening. The contracted dental office, at a minimum, must be able to provide the following dental treatments: Root Canal Therapy, Crowns, surgical extractions of teeth with exposed roots/impacted teeth/erupted teeth, Resin Based Composites, Amalgam, and Core Build-Up. Dental services shall be performed by licensed professionals. The Contractor shall be held liable and are responsible for ensuring and verifying the appropriate level of Credentialing Privileging (see attached PWS) for all contract providers in support of the AZARNG. Providers must not have existing open board complaints. Previous disciplinary action against a dentist by the Arizona or other States Board of Dentistry may preclude them from being a provider under this contract, unless approved by the State Dental Officer or Deputy State Surgeon.
