What is a lice clinic?
Head lice are wingless insects that live on the scalp and feed on human blood. They are a nuisance, but they are not dangerous and they do not spread disease.
Head lice are most common in children aged 4 to 11 years, but they can affect people of any age. They are more common in girls than boys, and in people who have long hair.
Lice clinics are businesses that offer head lice treatment services. These services may include special combing techniques, treatments with lice-killing products, or both.
Lice clinics can be found in some pharmacies, drug stores, and other retail locations. Some lice clinics are stand-alone businesses, while others are affiliated with lice removal services or other businesses.
Most lice clinic services are provided by appointment only. Fees vary, but they are typically based on the length of time required for the treatment.
Head lice are a nuisance, but they can be removed with proper treatment. Lice clinics can help get rid of head lice quickly and efficiently.

What services are covered by Medicaid?
Under the Medicaid program, states cover a range of services, including: Medical expenses for people with low incomes. This includes most essential health services, such as doctor visits, tests and treatments. Nursing home care. Elderly and disabled individuals may be able to receive intensive long-term care in a nursing home at little or no cost to their loved ones. These facilities can provide daily necessities like food, clothing and shelter. Home and community-based services. These are social support services that help an individual remain independent in their own residence or community setting. These include things like companion care, assistance with activities of daily living and help coordinating personal medical supplies.
Does Medicaid pay for therapy?
Yes, Medicaid typically covers in-person and online individual and group therapy. Many providers offer family therapy, too. So long as you have a diagnosis and a medical prescription for a specific therapy, your health insurance provider should cover it.
What are the Medicaid qualifications?
To qualify for Medicaid, you must meet certain eligibility standards. These include having a income below a certain level and meeting other requirements, such as having a household size of less than 50 people or being a member of a certain group, like pregnant women. You also may qualify if you have a disability or are a breastfeeding mother. If your state has expanded its Medicaid program, you can qualify based on your income alone. This means that regardless of your family status, health history, or other factors, you may be able to get insurance through Medicaid if you meet the eligibility guidelines. If your state has not expanded its Medicaid program, only members of certain groups – like pregnant women and children under the age of 19 – may qualify for coverage through the program.
