Unfortunately, we do not accept patients that have Medicaid as either their primary or secondary insurance and there are no exceptions.
When you have two types of insurance, like Medicare and Medicaid, they must work together to make sure your medical bills get paid. So, when the cost of treatment exceeds what Medicare can pay, which is often the case, then cost sharing policy provisions kick in and we have to bill Medicaid which we don’t accept. We apologize for this inconvenience, and I wish we had better news for you. As a provider it is critical we follow certain insurance rules, otherwise we will almost certainly face legal and financial consequences that would shut the practice.
