If you have medicare as your primary insurance how do you get your Medicaid to be the secondary?

Will Alabama medicaid pay a primary insurance 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.
