Q: 

I need dentures real bad. I have no uppers and just a few lower.

I am on Medicare but Medicaid pays my premiums due to the fact that my check is so little. I have friends on Medicaid who have gotten their dentures paid for because it was medically necessary. How can I get that same help from Medicare?

Hello, cynthiadale59. Thank you for posting.

Medicaid should cover the dentures. Have you looked into that? I assume you will need a dentist's letter stating the medical necessity. Below is a link to some information about Medicare and dental coverage. You might need to call a Medicare or Medicaid rep to discuss coverage.
