New agent here. If my client has Medicare and Medicaid and he/she goes to see a specialist who doesn't accept Medicaid (but accepts Medicare), what will happen with remaining 20%? Does he or she get a bill? Or Medicaid gets billed anyway, or something else...?
Thanks for help
Interesting... although Medicare is primary payer, they will not accept him/her?

I understand. However, I didn't know will the dr see you at all, or what are the rules, or who will get billed... I am asking all those questions so I can assist my clients better, educate them and set expectations.
Thank you

I guess you could compare a doctor accepting Medicaid to an agent that has a 40% contract.The fact is most good doctors have enough patients already. They are not “accepting new patients”. Now sometimes with a referal and the right insurance you can get in. Medicaid is NEVER going to get you in unless you are going to a doctor that accepts Medicaid patients.
You can always find an exception here or there. But as a rule you need to assume that dual eligible need to go to doctors who accept Medicaid. Don’t get people’s hopes up unrealistically.
