Answers:
Medicaid is indeed state specific. Each state has its own rules and regulations and each medicaid program is only good for that state. Each state also has lists of what drugs are covered and what are not. There is no way to get around the fact that out of state medicaid is not valid at drugstores. I am a pharmacist and have been dealing with this for 30 years.
