Medicaid is administered by the States, which have some discretion in what services to offer, especially for adults. In general, the Federal government requires Medicaid to provide standard medical care essential to preventing or treating diseases and other disorders.

Medicaid is really not insurance in the formal sense of the term. It is a joint, federal-state program that is financed by those government entities. The federal government provides financial support to the states that wish to participate by providing medical aid to low-income persons. While the state may choose whether or not to participate in the program, if it decides to do so, it has to comply with federal requirements.

Like all government-run programs, Medicaid is ultimately financed from tax revenues.

It's not possible to answer this question in this forum. The Federal government requires certain services; however, many other services are at the option of each State.

Will Alabama medicaid pay a primary insurance copay?

Medicaid will pay the copay only if the amount of the copay added to whatever the primary insurance paid is less than or equal to what Medicaid would allow for that charge to begin with. Like charge of $50 for a visit, and the copay is $10 and the primary insurance paid $3 and Medicaid allows $15 for that particular code. Then Medicaid would pay $12.00 of it. This is highly unlikely, though.


How does Medicaid pay when there is other Insurance involved?

The provider must give Medicaid proof that the other insurance carrier (including Medicaid) has "adjudicated" the bill. Medicaid will then pay any remaining eligible charges, to the extent that it would have paid had the patient not had any other insurance.
