What extra benefits do I get from joining the HMO? What are the copayments like, if any? Am I allowed to see any doctor and go to any hospital, or only ones authorized by the HMO? For more information, check out: "http://www.medicare.gov/choices/advantage.asp"

You cannot bill Medicaid for your HMO deductibles. However, if you are medicaid eligible, you don't need a Medicare HMO - Medicaid should be paying your Medicare co-payments, deductibles, and any other covered expenses that Medicare doesn't pay. If you are on Medicaid spend-down, your HMO deductible is a medical expense that can be applied to spend-down.

Yes. All you have to do is send in a cancellation letter or send it to your insurance agent and have them send to the HMO company.
