Letter of Acknowledgment Between the Wounded Veterans Relief Fund and CDAP Providers.
RE: Wounded Veterans Relief Fund Critical Dental Assistance Program
The purpose of this Letter of Acknowledgment is for the Dental Partner to acknowledge and agree to the dental assistance program process and expectations established by Wounded Veterans Relief Fund (“WVRF”). WVRF’s Critical Dental Assistance Program (CDAP) provides critical dental care to Florida veterans in need, including veterans who do not qualify for dental coverage through the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs. All veterans must first be reviewed and approved by WVRF prior to receiving assistance through the program.
Fee
WVRF utilizes two approved fee schedules for services provided through the Critical Dental Assistance Program (CDAP): an internal WVRF fee schedule and the Florida Veterans Foundation (FVF) Grant fee schedule. Applicable reimbursement rates are determined based on the funding source associated with each approved veteran case.
