Insurance Question

This is my third pregnancy, but with my other two I didn't have private insurance, only medicaid. So I didn't have any dr or hospital bills. This time around I have my private insurance but I also have Medicaid. I was under the impression that whatever my private insurance doesn't pay then Medicaid will come in and pay for the rest. When I went to the doctor they said I will still have to pay a "global" but since I have Mediciad it will be cheaper. Not sure what a "global" is but I'm assuming it's like a deductible. Does this sound right to anyone or has anyone ever used both their private insurance and Medicaid??
