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.

If you were ever a Medicaid patient and lost it does the doctor have to honor the Medicaid allowed amounts?

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.
