i am a provider in Michigan, a have residents in the home who i am not receiving title 19 money monthly. Providers are not required to accept Medicaid patients. However, a provider who treats someone as a Medicaid patient is required to accept the amount Medicaid pays as payment in full and, except for co-pays, cannot bill the patient.
There is no premium for Medicaid, altho you might have copays. (Persons under age 18 whose family income exceeds Medicaid standards may be eligible for the Children's Health Insurance Program and might have to pay a premium for that program.)If you're asking about Medicare, Part A is free for most persons. The current (2009) premium for Part B is $96.40.
no
Where can I put a claim number to determine a patients medicaid eligibility
Medicaid is the payor of last resort. Therefore, bill Medicare first. Bill Medicaid for any expenses Medicare didn't cover.
You must obtain license to transport medicaid patients and have a legit business established. You must also have a state approved handicap vehicle to transport.

All 50 states have a medicaid program. However, not every private doctor accepts medicaid. The only people who must accept it are state and federally run health care agencies like departments of health for example. In the private sector most doctors have not been accepting medicaid patients because of the low reimbursement for these patients. So the real answer, unfortunately, is no.
