Well, I'm on SSD, but I'm lucky enough to be able to get the VA to pay for my meds, but I do have a couple of friends that have Medicaid and they didn't have any problems with getting the generic oxy paid for. One had to have his Dr write a note saying why he needed oxy, but it was more because he'd taken percodan for several years and they wanted to know why he was now needing something stronger.He had no problem after that. The other never had any problems at all, since the generic price isn't much more than vicoden where we live. In this area, getting someone to write the script is the major problem. Once you get that done, payment isn't much of a problem. In Iowa, the Pharmacy Board has the right to review narcotics Rx's and then they complain to the Medical Board if they don't like something, then the docs get disciplined and can't write Rx for narcotics anymore.It's really rediculous!! No pharmacist should be able to do that. If they want to be a doctor-go to medical school, not pharmacy school!
