Dental benefits at risk as Medicaid re-eligibility checks beginioio

With the end of the national COVID-19 Public Health Emergency on Thursday, there are a lot of healthcare changes on the horizon. In fact, some of those changes are already underway, and according to the CareQuest Institute for Oral Health, more than 14 million adults in the U.S. are at risk of losing dental care now that Medicaid re-eligibility checks are underway. That can be dangerous for the patient and expensive for the country as a whole because dental care can affect whole body health.
