I am a fee-for-service client and I am having trouble finding a provider who will see my children on Medicaid. How can I find out which doctors and dentists are taking Medicaid?
• Most providers’ offices will tell you if they are accepting new Medicaid patients by telephone. You can also call the medical or dental societies in your county and ask if they know of providers taking new Medicaid patients. If they cannot help you, call the Medical Assistance Customer Service Center (1-800-562-3022) and ask about Medicaid providers in your community. The center operators try to keep tabs on areas of the state where people are having problems finding providers, and they can often steer you to some providers who may be able to help.
