If you were ever a Medicaid patient and lost it does the doctor have to honor the Medicaid allowed amounts?
A doctor or other provider who accepts you as a Medicaid patient (i.e., agreed to bill Medicaid for your care) is required to accept Medicaid's amount as payment in full. (However, you might have a co-pay.) In Illinois, a provider who accepts you as a Medicaid patient cannot demand payment from you if Medicaid does not pay due to the doctor's failure to bill Medicaid timely and properly. Your State might have a similar rule.
Can a doctor bill a medicare medical patient if they do not participate with MediCal Medicaid?
There are three categories of medical providers. Participating providers bill Medicare and accept what Medicare pays. Non Participating providers decide on a case by case basis. If they do not participate for your service, they send in a claim and the check comes to you. It is the Medicare allowed amount minus your deductible or co-insurance. Medicare allows the provider to bill you 115% of the allowed amount. The Medicare Summary Notice with the check details all of this. Private contracting providers file a form with Medicare saying that they will not accept any payment from Medicare for any service or any patient. Once they do so, they can not rejoin for two years. However, they must have the patient sign a form that the patient agrees to receive the service an pay for it without any benefit from Medicare. I will post two links that you might find helpful. Here is hoping that you do not have to call Medicare. The people are very friendly but their hands are tied. To answer the question, no. If the doctor is not a medicare provider then medicare will not reimburse the patient or the doctor.
If you have three medical insurances are doctors required to bill them all before billing the patient?
You doctor is not obligated to send the bill to ANY insurance company unless the agreement between the carrier and the doctor requires it. More and more doctors are trying to relieve themselves of the paperwork nightmare of dealing with insurance companies. They will accept the negotiated rate but demad it at the time of service from the patient. It is then the problem for the patient to collect from the carrier.
If a patient does not inform us he has medicaid is he responsible for the bill?
In Illinois, if the provider did not accept the patient as a Medicaid patient, the provider may bill the patient.

AnswerYes. "Non-contracted" means there is no contract with the insurance company to prevent the doctor from billing whatever he likes.
Can a private physician charge interest on a medical bill not through a collection agency?
yes. When a patient signs in with the office, the financial policy outlining all financial transactions between the patient and physician will be given to the patient to read and sign. My question is, why wouldn't the doctor be able to charge interest since a patient who takes an extended time to pay their bill is essentially using the physician's financial resources for free.
