Michigan-Medicaid questions

Or anyone familiar with how medicaid works? I recently applied. I have insurance now but learned I had a high deductible and can't afford it. I was approved for medicaid. I guess I have to pick an HMO that my dr takes, correct? Now, it says my deductible is $0. So does that mean like I pay nothing at all...im guessing once I pick my hmo I'll know more? Im just so confused. Im waiting to tell my family until after easter when I'll be past 12 weeks so I can't really ask my mom who is very knowledgeable with this stuff...
I keep reading and my coworkers even said thst pregnant women really don't pay anything at all during pregnancy if you have medicaid. Anyone familiar with this? I think im getting the pregnancy brain farts because im never this confused...lol

I called my obgyn dr and they told me ones they don't accept and I looked up my county on this website and there's like 5 or 6 of them and there's 2 or 3 they said from that list they do take. How do I go about getting one of those? Do they call me or do I call them? I should be getting my mihealth card or whatever it is in the mail soon. Im just so confused lol. Thanks for your help
