Adult Medicaid in Kentucky: Yes, Dentists Do Accept It

We don't. Adult KY Medicaid patients get the same schedule, the same chairs, and the same same-day emergency slots as everyone else.

If you've been putting off care because you assumed no one takes adult Medicaid, bring your card to 6826 Bardstown Road. We'll verify your benefits in minutes, tell you exactly what your plan covers this year, and map out any remaining costs before treatment starts.
