No. But tell your Medicaid agency about this because providers should bill your private insurance first.
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.
They certainly can. Medicaid is a state run health insurance for the those eligible. Think of it as a business. Medicaid is just another health insurance to medical private offices, but it doesn't pay as well as other private insurances. As the result, many medical offices do not sign up with Medicaid.

Medicaid Heath Insurance is not available in the United Kingdom, however it can be purchased online through Freedom Health Insurance. The Medicaid website has a list of locations and sites where it can also be purchased from.
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.
Proof of health insurance or coverage can be substantiated in various ways. Proof is not written by the insured, but sent or issued by the provider. Official forms include Medicare/Medicaid and private insurance cards, and statements.
Private health insurance is an alternative to government issued health insurance. It can be provided through a union or employer or one can purchase it from a private health insurance company.
