About Tricia
Expertise
Has your medical insurance company denied your claim and refuses to pay? Have you received a pre-authorization and still your insurance company refuses to pay? How can you get your insurance company to reverse a denied claim? How do you get a provider to waive your copayment if you are financially unable to pay? Can a provider sue you for a unpaid bill and will they? Can a provider send me to a collection agency for a medical bill? If my insurance company does not pay, am I responsible? If you have these questions or others on why your insurance company is not paying your bills, I can help. I can give you "tricks of the trade" to get your insurance company to pay. I have limited knowledge on Medicare and Medicaid and that is not my expertise. Each state is very different regarding Medicare and Medicaid so you need to review their website when you have questions. So please no Medicare or Medicaid questions!!

Experience
In the medical field for over 20 years spending majority of time in the collections aspect.

Medicare, Medicaid, Insurance, HMO problems - COB with Medicaid/med assistance?


Expert: Tricia - 9/23/2008

Question
Hello. 2 dependent children (under 19) are fully covered under my employers fully insured health/dental plan. My ex refuses to share any outstanding medical costs as she just informed me that she has had them on medical assistance since 2006. Is there coordination between the fully ins policy and Medicaid? I have been paying the full 20% copay after my insurance plan has paid.
Thanks !

Answer
Hi Andy!

Medicaid pays very little and if they deem a bill to be paid beyond their allowable, then they will not pay anymore.

However I would try........get the Medicaid information and try sending some copays to see if they will.  Even if they pay some it is better than nothing.

Good Luck!
Tricia
