My mother is 69 years old and has medicaid. Her false teeth were damaged beyond repair. Will madicaid cover?

States may elect to provide dental services to their adult Medicaid-eligible population or elect not to provide dental services at all as part of its Medicaid program. While most states provide at least emergency dental services for adults, less than half of the states provide comprehensive dental care. There are no minimum requirements for adult dental coverage.

The general rule is that Medicaid does not provide dental services unless the service needed is considered a medical emergency. The only people I'm aware of that can pretty well get almost any kind of dental procedure done through Medicaid are the ones on SSI....However, keep this in mind should Medicaid deny your Mom denture services.If there is a Dental College near you, the school will have an "Out Patient Clinic" that provides a wide range of dental services to the public. The cost will be from "Free" to very low, depending on the persons financial status. Also, some Hospitals have a Dental Intern-ship Program. If one near you does, it too will provide the same type of fee schedule for dental services as does the dental school clinic. Good luck and I wish you well.

Reply:medi will not cover, unfortunatly. the only thing medi will cover dentally on an adult is an extraction and about 100 bucks worth of radiographs. (usually, don't quote me, each state may be different, i am not sure)


but usually there are denture centers that cater to medicaid patients and have lower rates, check with the medi office to get a list of providers, then ask the general dentist if they suggest anyone
