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.

Why is the car insurance required by federal law to send info to medicare?
This is to determine if injuries from an auto accident can be paid from your insurance coverage or from Medicare. Several years ago the Federal government made auto insurance primary for paying for such injuries medical expenses and Medicare would pay secondarily over and above the auto insurance. They also made Medicare secondary to any other insurance you may have from a former employer under a retirement provision. This was a drastic swing of lots of money off of Medicare and onto other insurance programs for payment.

You do not determine which of your insurance policies are primary in cases where you have multiple health insurance policies.

This transferred billions of dollars per year from the Medicare and Medicaid programs to private insurance companies all at one time.
