Medicaid..question..

Do people with medical assistance have to have another insurer to administer medical assistance or not. I'd rather have straight up Medical assistance/ medicaid
with no"preferred provider" bullshit.

I wanna toss United healthcare but do I have to have another insurance grifter like priority partners or whatever so called provider to get care and use Medical assistance ?

Or is this 3rd party bullshit?

Can a person just use the red and white card where they get medicaid?

I'm in Maryland.

I'm curious about this .

This question has nothing to do with Medicare.
