If an out of state hospital doesn't accept you state Medicaid there is really nothing you can do, unfortunately. However, if you are in the emergency room then they must attend to you. Be aware that although by law hospitals are not allowed to turn away anyone without insurance for emergency help, there is no time obligation for how soon they must attend to you. It is very much a possibility that you'd be waiting for hours on end.
What else can I help you with?
If a doctor declares there is nothing more that hospital can do and refers you to an out of state hospital does the hospital have to accept out of state Medicaid that they wouldn't normally accept?
No. Medical providers are not required to accept Medicaid or Medicare patients.

Medicaid might be waiting for auto insurance or some other private carrier to adjudicate the claim. What reason did they give the hospital? There should be a Medicaid hotline number you can call in your State to find out what's happening.
Do Private Practice refuse to accept Medicaid?
It all depends on the practice and how they handle their billing. I do not know of any state mandate forcing providers to accept medicaid at this date but some states may have them. You can always call around and check out the Medicaid website for referrals. I hope this helps:) Evan

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.
