If the medication you need is not on the list, take the list in to
your doctor’s office, and ask the nurse to check if any of the
medications on the list would work as a substitute. As many have
said, the only drugs for $4 are on the list. And it has to be the
exact perscription as the item on the list.
By dropping the list and having the nurse check, you won’t have a
doctor’s fee applied when you least need it.
And yes, as some have also pointed out, the pharmacist may try to
substitute it for a non-list item, or type (like syrup instead of
tablets, or non-generic for generic, etc) to get more money. I don’t
know that this is something they do on purpose, but I’ve heard from
a lot of people who have had that problem at Walmarts all over the
place.
As an aside, if you DO incur any medical costs while you are
uninsured, and do get Medicaid while you are pregnant, they can
retroactivly pay for some things, either by reimbursing you (which I
believe is harder to do), or by paying the bill outright.
