I'm not sure where you live my friend but talk to your case manager and they can use a third-party payer meaning if you get a dentist that can work on you and wait 20 to 30 days until they get paid from the third party payer in this case it would be the AIDS foundation would send the dentist directly a check. But you would have to talk to your dentist and see if they would draft a bill for all the work that needs to be done and then you send that to your case manager and then they will put in a request for a check to be paid directly to the dentist
