Book excerpt: K.S.A. 1996 Supp. 65-1466 authorizes a dentist or dental hygienist to practice as an employee or to otherwise contract with a 501(c)(3) not-for-profit corporation [which also qualifies under K.S.A. 65-431(b)], an indigent health care clinic, a federally qualified health center or a local health department to provide dental services to dentally indigent persons. These qualified entities may either define the term "dentally indigent" as provided in the statute or may, in accordance with the statute, define the term more restrictively. A federally qualified health clinic or other qualified entity may also define the term more broadly, but may employ or otherwise contract with licensees of the Kansas dental practice act to serve only those who qualify under State law as dentally indigent.
