i’m on medicaid and it’s kind of a mixed bag. physical doctors appointments are covered and so are medications but dental is horrific. i was told i have to wait for my teeth to fall out (that’s literally what they said) because it won’t cover root canals or crowns. 🥴 mental health is sort of a mixed bag too. my current therapist doesn’t take medicaid and a lotttt don’t either but i love my therapist so i pay out of pocket because i can’t imagine seeing anyone else. that said, if you go through the list of medicaid approved therapists you should be fine. just be prepared to be on a wait list.
