In Illinois, a provider who accepts a patient as Medicaid cannot bill that patient for anything for which Medicaid would have paid had the provider timely and properly billed Medicaid.
yes
You cannot bill Medicaid for your HMO deductibles. However, if you are medicaid eligible, you don't need a Medicare HMO - Medicaid should be paying your Medicare co-payments, deductibles, and any other covered expenses that Medicare doesn't pay. If you are on Medicaid spend-down, your HMO deductible is a medical expense that can be applied to spend-down.
I was searching for the same question to be answered...the answer I found is...NYS will only cover the deductible that Medicare does not pay. In other words, I am assuming, unless you are also on Medicare, Medicaid does not pay for chiropractic care. It seems that it is just about the only state that does not.
Medicare and Medicaid coverage is virtually identical. The two principal things to remember are: Medicaid is always the payor of last resort (i.e., bill Medicare and/or private insurance first); and, Medicare does not pay for long term custodial care, such as a nursing home (Medicaid does).
No. Neither Medicare nor Medicaid pay for elective cosmetic surgery procedures, like liposuction.
Providers are not required to take Medicare (or Medicaid) patients. Hospitals are required to provide emergency care regardless of ability to pay.
