Medicaid Orthodontist in San Antonio
We accept Medicaid at both San Antonio offices. Call us and our team will confirm your coverage before you come in.
Yes, we accept Medicaid
Plenty of orthodontic practices in San Antonio do not take Medicaid. We do, at both the Blanco Rd office on the north side and the SE Military Dr office on the south side.
The honest part: Medicaid orthodontic coverage in Texas is not automatic. It generally depends on whether a case meets the state's medical-necessity criteria, and that is assessed case by case rather than decided by us. What we can do is look at the case, tell you where you stand, and handle the paperwork side.
The evaluation that answers the question is free, and it includes an exam, a digital scan and an X-ray. If Medicaid does not cover the case, you will hear that plainly, along with what our payment plans would look like instead.

Free evaluation either way
Exam, digital scan and X-ray at no charge, whether or not the case ends up covered.
A straight answer on coverage
Texas Medicaid orthodontic benefits depend on medical necessity. We will tell you honestly where your case sits.
A fallback that is not a sales pitch
If it is not covered, payment plans start at $149 a month with 0% interest in-house financing for up to 30 months.
Both offices, same answer
Medicaid is accepted at both of our San Antonio locations, and Dr. Cochran treats patients at both.

Whichever is the easier drive is the right one.

Common questions
Do you take Medicaid for braces?
Yes. Cochran Orthodontics accepts Medicaid at both San Antonio offices. Call (210) 714-5525 and our team will confirm your specific coverage before your first visit.
Does Medicaid cover braces for adults in Texas?
Texas Medicaid orthodontic benefits are generally aimed at children and are tied to medical necessity rather than appearance. Adult coverage is limited. The free evaluation is how you find out where your case actually stands, and we will be straight with you about it.
What if Medicaid will not cover my case?
You will hear that clearly, not after treatment has started. Our payment plans begin at $149 a month with 0% interest in-house financing for up to 30 months. See payment plans and financing.
Is the evaluation free even with Medicaid?
Yes. The exam, digital scan and X-ray are free for everyone, however you plan to pay.
Which office should I go to?
Either. Blanco Rd is on the north side, SE Military Dr is on the south side, and Dr. Cochran treats patients at both.
