Yes, you can have both Medicaid and a private health insurance plan. The Medicaid plan will pay after your private plan pays. This means that your doctor (or hospital or other service provider) will bill your private plan first; then they will send the private plan's explanation of benefits (called an "EOB") to Medicaid.

Unless one anticipates becoming ineligible for Medicaid, there is no good reason for a person who has both Medicare A & B and Medicaid to keep a private insurance plan. However, if you choose to do so, please do the taxpayers a favor and let your medical providers and your Medicaid caseworker know about the private plan, so that Medicaid will be billed only after the bill is "adjudicated" by Medicare and/or the private plan.
