Unless one anticipates becoming ineligible for Medicaid, there is no good reason for a person who has both Medicare A & B and Medicaid to keep a private insurance plan. However, if you choose to do so, please do the taxpayers a favor and let your medical providers and your Medicaid caseworker know about the private plan, so that Medicaid will be billed only after the bill is "adjudicated" by Medicare and/or the private plan.
