I am in a lot of pain, and I have AHCCCS/Medicaid insurance.
If you’ve developed pain in the last 3 months, it’s eligible for coverage under your AHCCCS plan. This plan provides up to $1000 for dental emergencies, aimed at alleviating acute pain. However, this benefit has significant limitations; for instance, it does not cover expenses like crowns. Contact AHCCCS to find a dentist that can help you at AZahcccs.gov
