So a patient has medicaid (kid) but he is also on his mom’s cigna plan. I don’t know why the medicaid didn’t pick up on this and rejected a claim saying to bill the primary.
Today I processed a claim for humalog thru cigna and the copay was ridiculous (+$500 most likely deductible). Patient returned a call saying to bill thru her son’s medicaid and that her employer is switching their plan. Would it be ethically appropriate to bill the medicaid when there is a primary available? I did bill the medicaid and it was a 0 copay
