You cannot bill Medicaid for your HMO deductibles. However, if you are medicaid eligible, you don't need a Medicare HMO - Medicaid should be paying your Medicare co-payments, deductibles, and any other covered expenses that Medicare doesn't pay. If you are on Medicaid spend-down, your HMO deductible is a medical expense that can be applied to spend-down.
Certainly altho I see no benefit for a Medicaid recipient. The HMO would be the primary insurer and Medicare secondary. Medicaid is always the payor of last resort. However, there shouldn't be any expenses for Medicare or Medicaid to pay.

There are a variety of Medicare HMO plans that are available for all kinds of incomes. Under the new Obama health plan, everyone should be available to get a medicare HMO plan.
Hospitals are reimbursed by Medicare for handling a high level of indigent patients and are also reimbursed for educating interns and residents. When a Medicare patient is covered by a Medicare Replacement Plan (HMO Insurance for medicare patients), the hospital can only get the extra reimbursement for indigent patients and educating intern and residents if they send Medicare a "shadow bill". Basically, it is a copy of the identical bill sent to the HMO which is submitted to Medicare only for the purpose for the extra payment.
No, Medicare is a Fee For Service Program, but doctors must contract with Medicare to treat Medicare patients

The answer depends on what type of Aetna Medicare Plan you have. If you have an Aetna Medicare Supplemental Plan, then Original Medicare pays first and the Aetna plan pays secondary If you have an Aetna Medicare Advantage HMO Plan, then the Aetna plan will always be primary as Medicare has assigned the benefits over to Aetna for processing and administration.
