- Fee-for service: When a resident is identified as requiring dental services, a telephone request is called to IDC office. The resident’s next-of-kin or responsible party is contacted by IDC to approve the requested service. Arrangements are made between the responsible party and IDC. The nursing home is notified as to the progress of treatment.
