Medicaid is a government-sponsored health insurance program that provides coverage to low-income individuals and families. Medicaid covers a wide range of health services, including dental care. However, not all dentists accept Medicaid.
There are a number of reasons why a dentist may not accept Medicaid. Some dentists may not be willing to accept the low reimbursement rates that Medicaid pays. Others may not have the experience or training to provide the type of care that Medicaid patients need.
