Question

Ramin Mahallati, DDS · Answer

Hello and thank you for your question. The best way to answer this is by contacting Medicaid, because it can vary by state. Also, I recommend getting a consult with a Prosthodontist, who can discuss with you the different types of crowns to give you the best long-term results. A Prosthodontist is a dental specialist who has advanced training in restoring teeth and can create a customized treatment using the latest techniques in dental crowns.

I would recommend calling Medicaid to see what their policy is on that. As far as I know, a doctor can't charge a patient beyond what Medicaid pays. As such, a doctor most likely won't do anything beyond what Medicaid covers because they can get into a lot of trouble for going around those policies. It can very depending on what state you are in.
