My brother has been referred to a speech therapist and an orthopedic doctor. The doctors are Medicare providers but they are not enrolled with Medicaid. I would like to know if Medicaid allows the doctor to charge the the patient after Medicare pays their portion. Can the doctors accept cash payment?
When you call to make a medical appointment for your brother, you need to first ask if they accept Medicaid patients. In my experience, most doctors/clinics do not.
If a doctor is owed money why wouldn't their office take cash?
