Only one assistant may be utilized by a participant at a time and the total cost per year may not exceed a fixed amount (to be determined) Cost may be accrued only during the time the assistant is actively engaged in assisting the participant in the Private Dental Service.

The amount due assistants is remitted to the Treasurer's Office together with G.U.'s portion of the adjusted gross.
