[Nfbmo] dental coverage

[Dennis Miller]

There is limited dental coverage for blind pension and supplemental aid to the blind recipients.  However, it is very limited and it can be difficult to find a dentist who will accept it because it can take up to six months for them to be reimbursed and there are caps put on the services.  I am not familiar enough with the services covered to say any more about it other than it did allow for routine cleaning as of one year ago.

Hi,
Missouri Medicaid covers dental for children and some pregnant women under the MOHealthNet program with contracted dental clinics. Regular adult Medicaid , unless coverage has changed since I left FSD, does NOT have dental coverage. For Blind Pension and Supplemental Aid to the Blind medical programs there has been periods of coverage in the past so I do not know the current status. You can find out if you have dental coverage by calling FSD Recipient Services at 1-800-392-2161 and providing your Medicaid/MOHealthNet number. This is not the customer No-service number you may be familiar with but it is a very busy number so you may have to try several times. They are open 8-5 and most reachable right at 8am.

Does anyone know if Missouri Medicaid offers dental coverage? I haven’t seen a dentist in a very long time. Until now I haven’t needed one, but now I do. 
Thanks for any help or information you can offer.
