Summary
Connecticut updated the Caries Risk Assessment Tool effective March 1, 2023, for public health dental hygienists. Only hygienists in public health settings (schools, long-term care, mobile vans) can use screening codes D0601-D0603 for reimbursement and must complete new web-based training.
Action Required
Connecticut public health dental hygienists only: Complete updated web-based training through DSS LearnCenter before using D0601-D0603 codes. Download new CRAT tool from CTDHP.org. Private dental offices, FQHCs, and dental clinics cannot use these screening codes and are not required to take training.
