Greetings. I could use some help....I have a new born and the father is older and has Medicaid. The mother is younger and has commercial. Does the father need to establish Medicaid for the patient? Or can the mother take the child on her policy since it is private? I am a little confused because I understand that you have to bill private insurances before Medicaid. Mom said she had the baby added, but if the birthday rule and the Medicaid is primary, then why would the mom need to add her child to her commercial policy? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
