A doctor or other provider who accepts you as a Medicaid patient (i.e., agreed to bill Medicaid for your care) is required to accept Medicaid's amount as payment in full. (However, you might have a co-pay.) In Illinois, a provider who accepts you as a Medicaid patient cannot demand payment from you if Medicaid does not pay due to the doctor's failure to bill Medicaid timely and properly. Your State might have a similar rule.

Per HIPPA, disclosure of medical information must be secure and controlled. In this case, if the Doctor is a resident of the hospital where the patient resides, the Doctor is considered a secure and controlled release. It is under a HIPPA rule, a disclosure, but not a violation. A visiting Doctor is not allowed access to patient records without the patient consent.

Does medicaid cover past medical bills?
Medicaid will only go back three months prior to when you started receiving it. FOR EXAMPLE: If you have a doctor or hospital bill from December of 2009, and then start receiving Medicaid in March of 2010, then yes, Medicaid would pay for the December bill. BUT, had you gone to the doctor in November, and then received Medicaid the following March, that bill would not be covered because they will only go back three months.
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.
