Does Medicaid Cover Dental Care?
Medicaid [5] is a federal and state insurance program that helps to cover the cost of medical services for people with low income. It is possible to have both Medicare and Medicaid. When you have both of them, Medicare becomes the primary payer while Medicaid pays second.
Medicaid does help to cover dental care but this depends on the state you live in. If you are eligible for Medicaid, a lot of the dental care you receive will be covered.
Dental benefits however vary from state to state. Some states in the U.S. provide more benefits than other states. When you get enrolled in Medicaid, it is important that you get in touch with your local Medicaid office to know about their dental packages.
