Of the approximately 176 respondents, 132 said they had insurance. Of those 132 patients, 88 had Medicaid coverage, but only 20 individuals were able to find a dentist that accepted Medicaid. 

The survey was conducted following the 23rd annual Mountains of Mercy dental clinic, which provided care to around 500 patients.
