medicaide

[charlotte]

I have a question that perhaps someone on this panel can answer.
I received my Medicaid card this week.
I went to the drug store and they would not honor it..
I also was told that EACH prescription would cost less, brandname.more for it.
I called and the person I spoke to had no answers.

I also was told that I had to come up with a safety amt of money `,May be more? this amount is due Each and every month. I have to save all of my medical stuff and mail it to our local branch.Each Month.Silly Me, I was hoping that the medicad card would take care of my medicade ( meds ) would be taken care of.
While I am greatful for some help, I still think this is large amount each month.
I need some help on this , or is this the norm.?

thanks, Charlotte
