Please help! does colorado medicaid cover tooth extraction for pregnant women?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most states will...: Most state medicaid plans will pay a benefit for an extraction if you qualify for it. Trouble is, the reimbursement rate to the doc is usually so low that the payment doesn't cover overhead--so the dentist must pay out if his/her pocket for the pleasure of caring for you. Some will, most do as part of their ' pro bono' efforts to help the truly poor. If you have internet access...Perhaps a clinic?
