[QUOTE="OTE, post: 4377"] Every state is different. Most now have some kind of HMO type option (s). But in the two states I've been in there's nothing re medications on Medicaid. You can go to any pharm you want... and most all take medicaid. And the co-pay is the same no matter where you buy it. Just went up here. Was $1 generic and $3 name brand. Now $3 for all. This is for a one mo supply of any prescription medication. You're on your own for OTC. Only trick is that you can only go to one pharm per mo.... can't pick up medications from two pharmas in the same mo. This is through SSI or through reg medicaid for low income/ assets? Where I am now there's a difference. The SSI ones have no HMO. But for me and my middle one there's an HMO. Not complaining because I just signed us up with the local major hospital for everything except scripts. And because it's a public hospital if I don't have the dr visit co-pays they don't bother collecting them. If I need lab or x-rays it's right there. In prior state it was very, very difficult to find doctors who took medicaid and no local hospital. I recall needing a lab one time and they wouldn't use any local, major co labs. Had to go to one miles and miles away which would only take us during school hours on certain days.... whole nightmare. So it really depends by state. [/QUOTE]
