I haven't been able to find a dentist that will take the medically needy insurance (can I call it insurance?) in my area or any area in South Florida. So my answer is NO.
The "Medically Needy" program in Florida includes those who make slightly too much money for Medicaid (particularly including those on Social Security Disability Income), however do not make enough money to cover their medical bills and general living expenses.
I have a Florida medicaid card that was issued by DCF for the medically needy program. I really need to know about the different providers that will accept this card.I'm hoping that a dental provider will accept it. Please let me about every provider that can be used.
You can't. I went through medically needy share of cost and I have called every medicaid dentist on the list for Florida, no one takes it. So after an ER visit for an abscessed tooth, I was switched to Medicaid for the rest of the month. After another week of calling dentists I find that 99% of them only see children. Good luck, if you find any answers please let us know.

Not 100% sure of this but my educated guess would be probably the most medically needy ones.
To find a primary care doctor in Daytona Beach who accepts medically needy patients, it's best to contact local health clinics or community health centers, as they often have programs to assist low-income individuals. You can also check with the Florida Department of Health or local Medicaid offices for a list of providers. Additionally, online resources like Zocdoc or Healthgrades may help you filter doctors based on insurance accepted. Always call the office directly to confirm their acceptance of medically needy patients.

In the context of Medicaid assistance, "needy" individuals typically refer to those who have limited income and resources, making them eligible for financial support for healthcare services. The term can encompass various groups, including low-income families, elderly individuals, and people with disabilities. Additionally, "medically needy" refers to those whose income exceeds the standard eligibility limits but have high medical expenses that can qualify them for assistance. Together, these classifications help determine eligibility for Medicaid programs aimed at providing essential healthcare services to vulnerable populations.

Contact your local county department of human services(welfare) or if you can google the county dept of human services, they may have information online. Good luck!
The reason that Angel Flight is so important is because pilots fly needy patients for free to medical centres who need to be diagnosed, treated or medically evaluated.
