No you do not.
For example, at Personal Wellness Counseling Center in Christiana, DE if you have Medicaid, a predetermined number of counseling sessions will be paid for 100% without co-pay to you. For an excellent therapist contact Preston Lanier, LCSW

Medicaid is intended to cover all medically necessary services for indigent persons, so no supplemental insurance should be necessary. For Medicare, supplemental insurance will be necessary.
Supplemental insurance is an additional insurance which provides coverage in excess of your primary insurance policy. For example, Flood Insurance is a supplemental insurance to your homeowners policy which does not cover damage from floods. Or, you might have an Umbrella Liability policy which provides coverage to a higher dollar limit above your auto policy or business policy.
Yes. That's why one should have Medicaid (if eligible) or supplemental insurance.
Whether or not you need supplemental insurance depends upon your individual situation. Does the coverage your job provides give enough of a benefit should you need it? If not, than supplemental insurance would be a good idea.
I believe it is the transfer of processed claims from Medicare to Medicaid or state agencies and insurance companies that provide supplemental insurance benefits to Medicare beneficiaries.
You will need to apply for Medicaid insurance at your local DHS office.
No. But tell your Medicaid agency about this because providers should bill your private insurance first.
Depends on your health insurance!! If you not have health insurance, you will need to have medicaid.
You need supplemental health insurance because it is a more specific plan of health insurance where monetary denominations are given for procedures rather than generic. They are also easier to understand, stable and more affordable.
There are many types of supplemental insurance out there. It depends on the type of supplemental insurance you want. Place calls to your local insurance companies and ask around.
SSI (Supplemental Security Income) is not health insurance and does not provide medical care. You might be thinking about Medicaid, given that SSI recipients are eligible for Medicaid. Your medical provider would be able to tell you whether Medicaid in your state provides the medicine that you have in mind.
No - Medicaid (and the taxpayers) expect you to apply for any and all alternative means of coverage. Having other insurance won't make you ineligible for Medicaid, but you need to tell your caseworker so that providers will know to bill the other insurance first, then Medicaid.
