Yes. In fact many clinic's and hospitals have now gone private and do not accept Public aid patients at all. Faith based hospitals and clinics that are non profit are the few left who accept these payments.
The fee or services is the same for everyone regardless what insurances coverage you have.

Medicaid will only go back three months prior to when you started receiving it.

BUT, had you gone to the doctor in November, and then received Medicaid the following March, that bill would not be covered because they will only go back three months.
