Colorado Offers Dental Coverage To Adult Medicaid Recipients

KMGH-TV Denver (6/25, Allen) reported on its website and during a broadcast that “Colorado is one of just 16 states to approve an extensive adult dental benefit for Medicaid recipients,” noting state legislators voted to extend dental coverage to adults in 2014. Since the state expanded Medicaid coverage, 70 percent of Coloradans now have dental coverage, up from about 61 percent two years ago. Still, some people are unaware they now have dental coverage, KMGH reported.
