Is it official to catch Medi-Cal coverage while have Private Insurance?
My husband pays for medical and dental from his employer for coverage for his daughter. His ex also put her on Medi-Cal ( state based form coverage associated w/ welfare) for free co-pays.
Is this legal?? Basically its a strong child with double coverage and the state is paying for one side of the coverage...permissible?
Answers: It is legal as long as Medicaid know about the other policy. The private insurance will be primary and Medicaid will be inferior, paying what the primary doesn't pay. If Medicaid does not know just about the private policy it could be considered Medicaid fraud.
