I have a patient that we sent a bill to for patient responsibility. They have BCBS as primary and UPMC as secondary. Patient called and said they have Medicaid (for their son that has a disability) and that if Medicaid doesn't pay then the patient is not responsible. They said UPMC is Medicaid. I don't see anywhere on the UPMC insurance card state it is Medicaid. This is for the state of PA.

I'm not familiar with UPMC. I would call UPMC and ask. You don't want to be reported for billing a patient if by state law you are not supposed to.
