Enrolled to bill Medicare
Being enrolled to bill Medicare is not the same as Medicare covering your dental treatment — traditional Medicare rarely covers routine dental care.
About children's dentistry
A pediatric dentist has two to three years of training beyond dental school in treating children, including very young children and children with special health care needs. Medicaid and CHIP cover dental care for children in every state, so cost is usually less of a barrier than it is for adults.
Paying for a visit
This is a community health center. Federal rules require it to offer discounts based on income and household size, and it cannot turn you away because you cannot pay. How sliding-scale fees work at community health centers
In Texas, adult Medicaid does not cover routine adult dental care. Children are covered in every state through Medicaid and CHIP, whatever the adult rules. What Texas Medicaid covers, service by service
Questions to ask when you call
- Are you taking new patients, and how soon is the first appointment?
- Do you see children of my child's age, and do you take their Medicaid or CHIP plan?
- What income documents should I bring to get the sliding-fee discount?
- What will the first visit cost me, and what will it include?
A dentist registered at an address may work there only some days, or may have moved on. The clinic's front desk can confirm.
