Question My daughter is on Medicaid and we live in Florida. Does it cover orthodontics, specifically braces? Her teeth are really messed up and some teeth have been pushed behind others.
Answer Hi Ashton
Sorry, I am in Michigan and the Medicaid regulations are different in each State. The person that can give you a definite answer is the case worker.
You can also check with the dental association in the area and see if there are dentists that do work for low income persons at reduced rates.
