I applied for Medicaid and was approved... I have a private insurance policy that doesn't cover routine maternity, so I am using this Medicaid just for my pregnancy. Is it an issue that I have private insurance? The caseworker warned me that it might pose a problem. She didn't specify whether it was legal or not to have both, just that it MIGHT be a problem.

Should I simply cancel my policy before I start using Medicaid? By the time my twins are due in late August, I'll be eligible for open enrollment with my husband, so I'm just wondering if it would be a good idea to cancel my policy, use Medicaid in the meantime, and then sign up the babies and myself under his plan when open enrollment comes around in August.
