Adult braces with Medi-Cal

In some cases, a child who is covered by a Medical Card benefit might be eligible for braces. There are circumstances under which Medicaid, or state funded children's health insurance programs, pay for braces. Children under 18 years of age can be covered under the Medical Card. Some states have additional programs that will cover youths up to age 19 or even those who are under 21. Therefore, some young adults who have not yet reached the age of 21 might be eligible to receive coverage for braces. Generally speaking, children will only receive braces if they are deemed to be medically necessary
