    Social Media Guidelines and Policy

    Overview of General Guidelines

     

    This document is an outline of standard do’s and don’ts for engaging on social media with Western Dental.

    Western Dental welcomes users to contribute different kinds of content, including reviews, comments, photos, videos, private messages, and more. Being respectful to others is expected, but each may have his/her own definition of respect, which is why we have put together these general guidelines.

    • Inappropriate content: Playful language and imagery is acceptable, however profanity, threats, harassment, lewdness, hate speech, and other displays of bigotry. This type of content is not conducive to a customer service environment, and may be inappropriate / offensive to others within the community and will be deleted immediately. If a user continues after this point, they will be banned from our branded pages.
    • Promotional content: Unless you are promoting Western Dental, we generally frown upon promotional content, as it does not add much value to the community. In an effort to remain helpful to our community, please refrain from posting promotional content that may be distracting, or considered spam.
    • Relevance: Please make sure your contributions are relevant and appropriate to the community. In order for us to help you best, or provide value, please keep reviews, comments, and other posts specific to your patient experience – negative or positive, both are welcome.
    • HIPAA Regulations and Privacy: HIPAA is the acronym for the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act that was passed by Congress in 1996. We are extremely limited in what we may comment on, or mention in a public forum. With respect to HIPAA and social media, we are primarily concerned with:
      – Protection of your health care information on electronic billing and other processes; and
      – Protection and confidential handling of your protected health information

     

    Western Dental will not:

    • Publish photos of patients without signed consent forms for approval and posting.
    • Publish, mention, or discuss any private patient information online or share information that will link back to a patient; even inadvertent seemingly harmless disclosure of details about a patient without his or her consent may be used to potentially identify the patient and could violate HIPAA and state privacy laws.

    We ask that you do not:

    • Publicize other people’s private information. This includes reaching out publicly on behalf of a friend, or family member.
    • Please do not post close-up photos or videos of other patients without their permission, and please do not post other people’s full names unless you are referring to service providers who are commonly identified by or commonly share their own full names.

    Hear what’s making our patients smile

    I was nervous about my root canal, but the team at Western Dental was kind and calming. The procedure was pretty painless, and I feel at ease returning for my next appointment.

    Brenda Elizabeth Gonzalez

    Gloria helped transfer my DHMO plan and book fast care for me and my son. The dentist explained everything clearly, and we even got a free orthodontic consultation.

    Michelle Lucas

    I was so embarrassed to smile before. Rochelle at Western Dental gave me my confidence back. The staff is friendly and made every visit feel comfortable. Thank you!

  • Patient bill of rights

    Home You searched for general

    Our patients have rights! And responsibilities, too

    We’re here to give you the best possible care for your teeth in a responsible, respectful way no matter who you are or where you come from. It’s what we believe and how we operate. In addition, the state of California and the government of the United States define how we handle your care, your privacy and much more.

    Patient Bill of Rights

    In California, anyone seeking dental care can enter our offices with the assurance that they possess certain patient rights to care and conduct which must be maintained in the course of treatment. So that there is no question of what you can expect from us, we are pleased to share this patient bill of rights and responsibilities with you.

    Patients Rights

    • Our patients have a right to an appointment with their primary dentist for emergency care within 24 hours.
    • Right to an initial appointment within 3 weeks.
    • Right to obtain from his/her dentist complete, current information about his/her diagnosis.
    • Right to receive from his/her dentist information necessary to give informed consent prior to the start of any procedure and/or treatment.
    • Right to refuse treatment to the extent permitted by law, provided he/she accepts the responsibility and consequences of the decision.
    • Right to considerate and respectful care. The patient has a right to every consideration of his/her privacy concerning his/her own dental care program. The patient has a right to expect that all communications and records pertaining to his/her care should be treated as confidential.
    • Right to expect reasonable continuity of care.
    • Right to examine and receive an explanation of his/her bill regardless of the source of payment.
    • Right to voice his/her complaints and appeals to the office without discrimination and expect problems to be fairly examined and appropriately addressed by the office.
    • Right to file a complaint with the company and receive a written response within 30 days as to the disposition of the complaint. The patient may write to the company at P.O. Box 14227, Orange, California 92863 or call (800) 992-3366.

    Patient Responsibilities

    • Please keep appointments and when unable to do so, notify the dental office as soon as possible.
    • Please provide dentists with all information needed in order to care for the patient, including accurate and current health history, and communicate whether he/she clearly comprehends a contemplated course of treatment.
    • Please do your part to improve his/her own health condition by following treatment plans, instructions and care that the patient has agreed on with the dentist. Please behave in a manner that supports the care provided to other patients and the general functioning of the facility.
    • Please provide accurate insurance information and accept the financial obligations (copayments, coinsurance and deductibles) associated with services rendered.

    Government Managed Care Programs

    In addition to Medi-Cal, the state of California offers various managed care programs for low-income individuals. Western Dental is the largest staff model office provider of dental care to individuals enrolled in California’s managed care programs. We are proud to extend quality dentistry to people who might otherwise find dental care unaffordable.
