New Law of Medicaid Dental Services Grants Eligibility for Adults in Colorado

"A new law that makes adult in Colorado eligible for dental services brings good news for thousands of Medicaid enrollees in Colorado. The new law is said to take effect by April 2014. More residents of Denver who need the expert services of a Denver dentist should enjoy these benefit through their Medicaid coverage. The law, which covers medicaid dental services, have been planned in the past. But because of lack of funding, it was only now that it has been pushed. Adults will no longer have to wait for too long to get the treatment they need for their emergency dental problem. The coverage includes check-ups, dental cleaning, and visits for other dental work. The expected fund for the new law is a total of $1.6 million and will be provided by the emergency spending stash. Both the state and the federal government will have their shares to fund the said benefit."
