Please help.Thank You so much for the assistance and your time.
Answer
Does not sound like she has a lot of options regarding her coverage with Medicaid. However, there is an organization that might help. I have checked with a local support group and if they can locate the name of the group, I will let you know. You can email me directly for it: gail@teamgail.com.
Also Affordable Dentures will make a set for about $350 and they have a good reputation and have offices nationwide.
Another option may be to ask legal aid about malpractice.
Hope that helps.
UPDATE:
The name of the organization that may help is ModestNeeds.org
