The provider must give Medicaid proof that the other insurance carrier (including Medicaid) has "adjudicated" the bill. Medicaid will then pay any remaining eligible charges, to the extent that it would have paid had the patient not had any other insurance.
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.

Both Medicare and Medicaid are government insurance programs.
Never. Medicaid is always the payor of last resort after any and all other coverage, including Medicare.
No, Medicaid does not require another insurance. Medicaid is a government-funded program that provides health coverage for low-income individuals and families who meet certain eligibility criteria. If you are eligible for Medicaid, you do not need to have any other insurance coverage.
They certainly can. Medicaid is a state run health insurance for the those eligible. Think of it as a business. Medicaid is just another health insurance to medical private offices, but it doesn't pay as well as other private insurances. As the result, many medical offices do not sign up with Medicaid.

The ordered insurance becomes the primary insurance, and Medicaid becomes the secondary.

Yes, you can have both Medicaid and a private health insurance plan. The Medicaid plan will pay after your private plan pays. This means that your doctor (or hospital or other service provider) will bill your private plan first; then they will send the private plan's explanation of benefits (called an "EOB") to Medicaid.
