Logan county veterans receive improved dental coverage

 

[November 11, 2019] 

The Logan County Veterans Assistance Commission in conjunction with Southern Illinois University Medicine is pleased to announce an improved dental plan for uninsured, Honorably Discharged veterans.

The current copay of $25.00 has now been waived due to increase funding from the VAC, SIU and a grant. A veteran can now receive a basic annual exam, x-rays and cleaning with no out of pocket expense.

SIU dental has added a second Dentist to the Logan County Program to handle the increase of veteran patients.

SIU recognizes that good oral health provides a person a better opportunity to have a healthier life. In the event that further treatments are needed SIU can provide a sliding scale rate.

To obtain your voucher prior to making an appointment contact the Logan County Veteran Assistance Commission office at 217-732-8388. Then contact SIU at 217-735-2317 located within the Logan County Board of Public Health building located at 109 3rd St. Lincoln.
