WHEN MEDICARE IS PRIMARY, THE PATIENT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE SECONDARY COPAY.
Medicaid will pay the copay only if the amount of the copay added to whatever the primary insurance paid is less than or equal to what Medicaid would allow for that charge to begin with. Like charge of $50 for a visit, and the copay is $10 and the primary insurance paid $3 and Medicaid allows $15 for that particular code. Then Medicaid would pay $12.00 of it. This is highly unlikely, though.
Yes, Medicare is primary. Medicaid is always the payor of last resort.
Yes. That's why one should have Medicaid (if eligible) or supplemental insurance.
Medicaid is always the payor of last resort.
No. Patients out of pocket is limited to the annual deductible and 20% coinsurance.
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.
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).
$141.50 is the copay for Medicare nursing home stays (day 21-100)
The most popular Medicare HMO is Secure Horizons. It offers a primary care physician that provides referrals to specialists and the insured is only responsible for a copay.
This would be a very rare situation, I think. In such a case, the managed care organization 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.
Yes, most people on Medicare will need to pay a copay in order to go to physical therapy appointments. This is considered to be a specialist. If you have other health insurance outside of Medicare, this may cover the copay amount.
