Gary: I got my sister on the Colorado Indigent Care Program last year. This covers dental as well as medical for a small copayment. They are apparently covering her surgery and radiation but not doctor's bills. I advised her to make a dental appointment as I have no idea how long it takes to get in. She told me she can hardly open her mouth since the surgery but I told her how very important it is. Maybe the radiologists will talk to her about that tomorrow. I'm really concerned because her doc told her she should start radiation in three to four weeks but didn't act like there was any hurry. It's been three weeks and she's just now getting in for the first appointment. I really appreciate everyone's info and advice!
