Question: Does Medicaid cover dentures for the elderly!?
My father is 72 and does not have any teeth, he is very anemic, partly due to his inability to chew solid foods!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Answers:
Yes, Medicaid will cover dentures!.
Your Dad needs to contact his caseworker or Office of Social Services for a list of Medicaid dental providers in your area!.
At the intital visit, a comprehensive exam and a full set of xrays, even if he doesn't have any teeth, will be done!. An override will then be sent to Medicaid, asking for approval (the xrays will 'prove' to the dental consultant that your Dad does not not have any natural teeth) for the dentures!. Once the approval is received, and I can't imagine it being denied, it will be smooth sailing from there!
Best of luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
