Anonymous3 views7 answers
He had an closed head injury but auto insurance just denied his case!! And he has medicade active as well. Can he use his medicade to see a sphctrist or no?
I'm unsure what a sphctrist is but if someone is injured and they have Medicaid then they can visit the doctor provided they follow all Medicaid's protocols. But Medicaid will have a lien against any third party recovery.

If the accident was not your fault, a local personal injury lawyer will pursue the maximum possible compensation for your injuries, and get you to the right specialists. has a great lawyer finder tool to locate an attorney. Good luck.
Auto insurance denies everyone's case--that's their profit margin. You need to contact a member of the Michigan Ass'n for Justice--they give free consultations, take cases on a contingent fee, so get the advice face to face. Yes "someone" can use Medicaid, but only once auto has denied medical coverage.

First, if your friend needs medical treatment then he should seek it through any means possible. Second, if his injuries arise from an automobile accident, he should seek a consultation with an experienced personal injury attorney to determine what his rights are in relation to possible "first party and third party" claims under Michigan's No Fault Insurance/Auto Negligence laws. is an excellent source to find such an attorney.
Typically Medicaid will not pay for auto accident related injuries and, if they do, would be entitled to get reimbursed from the proceeds of your lawsuit against auto insurer paying your Michigan No Fault benefits. If you don't already have a lawyer you ought to get one ASAP.
He should definitely consult an experienced auto accident attorney. Many specialists do not accept Medicaid. He may need to find a doctor that will treat him on a lien, meaning they will get paid once case resolves.
Exactly what Mr. Pont said, medicaid does not typically pay for auto injuries. If they do, then they would be entitled to get reimbursed from the auto insurance. Michigan has a very precise no-fault law and your friend should seek a personal injury attorney versed in that area of the law.
