Who Should Apply

We welcome professionals with:

• Dental assisting background
• Registered Dental Hygienist experience

Compensation Structure

Compensation for contract-based Patient Advocates is structured as a case-based service fee consistent with nonprofit operational standards. Rates are established by the organization and designed to reflect fair market value for services rendered.

NDAP does not provide compensation based on referral generation or revenue sharing. All compensation arrangements are reviewed to ensure compliance with nonprofit governance standards and applicable regulations.

Volunteer-to-contract opportunities may be available for individuals seeking experience before transitioning into paid case work.

Role Overview
