Medicaid has very restrictive rules for reimbursement (and they won't reimburse the actual expense, only what they would have paid). So your best bet is to ask the provider to return your payment and bill Medicaid. Keep in mind that the provider is not obligated to do this.

A provider is not required to accept Medicaid or private insurance. However, if the provider indicated to you that s/he was doing so in your case, there's at least an ethical problem.
