It should be covered under your expanded medicaid that usually covers these items. They should have just regular and expanded medicate usually for people with disabilities. Just like if your doctor gives a medical diagnosis that you have a tooth pulled or you need to have your teeth cleaned for your health condition it will cover the Dental procedure. Each state is different in how they run the program. SO first does your state offer expanded medicaid?</p><p class=MsoNormal>>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>>> Heather</p><p class=MsoNormal>>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>>>>> On 3/18/2024 1:05 PM, Justin Heard via NFB-DB wrote:</p><p class=MsoNormal>>>> Good afternoon everyone.</p><p class=MsoNormal>>>> </p><p class=MsoNormal>>>> My name is Justin Heard, and I live in Tennessee.
