Sometimes. Depends upon your particular health conditions. One with diabetes, for instance, is going to need secondary medical insurance to help cover the expenses that Medicaid or Medicare do not cover completely.
If you have medicare as your primary insurance how do you get your Medicaid to be the secondary?
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).

ChampVA is always secondary to private health insurance, EXCEPT to Medicaid. In that case it is always primary.

Can Doctor's refuse Medicaid?
They certainly can. Medicaid is a state run health insurance for the those eligible. Think of it as a business. Medicaid is just another health insurance to medical private offices, but it doesn't pay as well as other private insurances. As the result, many medical offices do not sign up with Medicaid.
Are Medicare and Medicaid private insurance groups?
Both Medicare and Medicaid are government insurance programs.
Can you drop medical coverage for your dependent children when they obtain state Medicaid coverage?
When a non custodial parent is ordered by the court to pay medical coverage, and the custodial parent applies for Medicaid that does not mean that the dependent child's medical coverage can be terminated by the non custodial parent. The ordered insurance becomes the primary insurance, and Medicaid becomes the secondary.
