For qualified medicare beneficiaries (QMB), medicaid covers payment of medicare premium amounts for Parts A and B and the coinsurance and deductibles on medicare-covered services.
Medicaid does not pay for services which are not medicare benefits, services denied by medicare, or services furnished by providers who have not accepted medicare assignment. Reimbursement is made to providers of covered services and not directly to recipients.
