Medicaid is a government-funded health insurance program for low-income individuals and families in the United States. Copays are fixed amounts that patients pay for certain medical services, such as doctor visits or prescription drugs. In California, Medicaid patients are generally not required to pay copays for dental services. However, there are some exceptions to this rule.
One exception is if the dental services are provided by a private dentist. In this case, the dentist may charge the patient a copay of up to $20 per visit. Another exception is if the dental services are provided at a hospital or other medical facility. In this case, the patient may be charged a copay of up to $50 per visit.
