Will Medicaid Pay Medical Bills After an Accident in Florida?

Medicaid

Medicaid will pay a Medicaid beneficiary’s medical bills after an accident in Florida or on a cruise.  

Does other insurance pay before Medicaid in a Florida accident?

Yes. Every other insurance is primary to Medicaid.  If you are involved in a “motor vehicle” accident in Florida, in most cases personal injury protection (PIP) will pay before Medicaid.

Health insurance pays medical bills before Medicaid.  Medicare is required to pay medical bills before Medicaid.

That being said, Medicaid will pay immediately without waiting to see if other insurances are required to pay first.

Does Medicaid pay a fraction of the total billed charges?

Yes.  Medicaid normally pays a fraction of the medical provider’s total billed charges.

This can be good for an injured claimant if there is limited bodily injury (BI) liability insurance.

The injured claimant may receive more money in his or her pocket if there is limited bodily injury insurance and the medical providers bill Medicaid.

This is because Medicaid pays a fraction of the bill.  Thus, Medicaid’s has a lower lien than other types of insurance.

In many Florida auto accident cases, there is limited bodily injury liability insurance.

Does the Medicaid patient owe the medical provider money after Medicaid pays?

Usually, no.  After Medicaid pays (a fraction) of the bill, the patient usually doesn’t have a balance.

Do You Have To Use Medicaid After a Florida Accident?

No, although you should.  Find out if Medicaid beneficiaries have to use Medicaid after a Florida accident, such as a car accident, motorcycle crash or truck wreck, slip and falls and more.

Do Florida Medical Providers Have to Bill Medicaid if You’re Injured in an Accident?Does a Florida Hospital or doctor have to bill Medicaid if I'm hurt in an accident?

No, although many do bill Medicaid.  Find out whether a Florida hospital or doctor is required to bill Medicaid if you receive treatment from a car or motorcycle accident, or other accident.

Do You Have to Pay Florida Medicaid from a Florida Personal Injury Settlement?

Generally, yes.  Find out when, and how much, you have to repay Florida Medicaid from a personal injury settlement.

Should People Injured in Florida Quickly Apply For Medicaid?

Yes, if you think that you may qualify for Medicaid.  Find out why you should quickly apply for Medicaid if you’re seriously injured in an accident in Florida.

Did someone’s carelessness cause your injury in a Florida car crash or other type of accident?

I will not become your attorney by you leaving a comment. There is a time limit to file a lawsuit. All comments will be public. This includes the name that you enter. I only represent people who were hurt in Florida or on a cruise ship; or if the injured person lives in Florida or a family member (in the case of a death) lives in Florida. This is because I am only licensed in Florida.
