If you're an active, enrolled Medicaid provider, it is only legal in Minnesota to bill the patient for services not covered by Medicaid. If it's a covered service, they're a covered recipient and you're a covered provider, you must accept Medicaid payment as payment in full
Secondary.
WHEN MEDICARE IS PRIMARY, THE PATIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SECONDARY COPAY.
no not always, They will become your secondary ins.. Meaning your primary ins will pay and whatever patient resp is left or whatever they don't cover. medicaid takes care of that
ChampVA is always secondary to private health insurance, EXCEPT to Medicaid. In that case it is always primary. "Congress clearly has intended that CHAMPUS be the secondary payer to all health benefit and insurance plans... except in the case of a plan (Medicaid) administered under title 19 of the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. 1396, et seq.)"
depends
Medicaid is always the payor of last resort. Before a Medicaid agency pays a bill for a Medicare beneficiary, they require documentation that Medicare has "adjudicated" the bill (i.e., decided whether to make payment and, if so, how much).
You would need to check the medicad policy if the claim is covered or if they will be the 3rd party insurance payee in this case.
Certainly altho I see no benefit for a Medicaid recipient. The HMO would be the primary insurer and Medicare secondary. Medicaid is always the payor of last resort. However, there shouldn't be any expenses for Medicare or Medicaid to pay.
if primary paid more than allowed amount or if patient has primary insurance
Secondary insurance will not pay the claim but the remaining charges should not be billed to the member/patient. Provider of service should write off the patient responsibility that primary insurance applied.
Yes it is patient responsibility
