As far as I know (and I discussed this with a dentist-friend a couple of months ago) it is not illegal for a Medicaid recipient to pay cash for dental service, as it is illegal for both parties to tender medical service that way.
I don’t understand.
Is it illegal for a dentist who accepts Medicaid to also accept money for services?
If someone is on Medicaid and can’t find a nearby dentist, can they pay cash to someone else for care?
