Why would you want to? Medicaid pays providers so poorly that you would have a difficult time finding someone who takes it. Most providers take very little if any medicaid simply because they cannot stay in business with their current reimbursement schedule.

Absolutely! If you meet the income requirements, and qualify for medicaid in your state. Medicaid will help pay for any copays or deductibles you may not, otherwise, be able to afford. You'll need to speak with the medicaid office in your state to find out for sure. This is quite common. Good luck!

If you can afford personal medical insurance, you probably make too much for Medicaid.
Many, many retired folk, however, qualify for "Medicare", and still keep a personal policy for secondary coverage.

As long as you fall in the income guidelines for Medicaid, yes you can get it and have other insurance.

As a general rule, no. HOWEVER, if you have a dehibilating medical condition - like a physical handicap - you can sometimes get it as a secondary insurance. It's most commonly done for chronically ill children.

I think you can. Theyre alwaays changing the guidelines. They go by income so if you have a low income, you would probably be approved. bettyk
