The struggle of finding offices that accept Vermont Medicaid
Finding offices in Vermont that accept Medicaid and accept new patients is so difficult. At the dental office, I collected data for my research paper using the Vermont Medicaid portal and calling offices to see if they cover denture cleaning. This was a long and tiring process because most would say they dont accept Medicaid or they don't accept new patients. I needed 50 offices with all the data for my research, but I only had 17 down. My back hurt from leaning in on my laptop constantly, but I was grateful for even finding 7 more offices. Calling offices for 6 hours wasn't easy, but everything in life to succeed is never easy. Its all about consistent effort, even if I get a small outcome.
