This is the best place for information on Medicaid: http://www.cms.hhs.gov/MedicaidGenInfo/ Medicaid is available only to certain low-income individuals and families who fit into an eligibility group that is
recognized by federal and state law. Medicaid does not pay money to you; instead, it sends payments directly to your
health care providers. Depending on your state's rules, you may also be asked to pay a small part of the cost (co-payment)
for some medical services.

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.
