Can you have Medicaid and a personal health insurance plan?

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.


Can Doctor's refuse Medicaid?

They certainly can. Medicaid is a state run health insurance for the those eligible. Think of it as a business.

If you have medicaid or other health insurance can a medical provider file a lien against the bill instead of billing Medicaid or the health carrier?

A provider is not required to accept Medicaid or private insurance. However, if the provider indicated to you that s/he was doing so in your case, there's at least an ethical problem. In Illinois, a provider who accepts a patient as Medicaid cannot bill the patient if Medicaid fails to pay due to the provider's negligence in billing.
