Mom has been on Medicaid since 10/18. She is a retired state (LA) employee & still has her Blue Cross insurance even though she receives Medicaid. Blue Cross EOBs still come in the mail. She also had Tri Care prior to Medicaid. My questions are: Does Medicaid affect the coverage Blue Cross & Tri Care provide? If so, how? Is Medicaid now the primary insurance w Blue Cross & Tri Care providing secondary coverage?
***I would ask Mom, siblings or Dad these questions, but they keep me in the dark. When I ask NH staff questions, they call both of my brothers. I was Mom’s primary care giver for 11yrs. Although she was primarily self sufficient, I was the only one there if she needed anything. Nobody else cared. Since Mom’s been in a NH, Dad & siblings have interfered with the relationship Mom & I had to the point she no longer speaks to me. These people showed up when money, property & inheritance was threatened by Medicaid. I’ve been there all along. I’m still here.

First
Medicare primary
Then supplimental
Then Medicaid.
No family member is required to pay the suppliment.
You need to talk to a Medicaid caseworker concerning how this works in your State.

Certain services are only covered by Medicaid so those would be billed directly to them.
