Medicaid is run state to state. Typically, Medicaid or other State operated health care programs will ask the family member to disenroll or have their eligibility removed from the TRICARE program in order to qualify or to continue to remain eligible for Medicaid or the State health care program. In Michigan, you can start the enrollment for Medicaid online.
