Ohio Medicaid members can fill prescriptions
Walgreens accepts almost all insurance plans, including Medicare and Medicaid. For Ohio Medicaid members, there are a few things to keep in mind when filling prescriptions. Firstly, ensure that your desired Walgreens pharmacy has a State MAP ID number, as this is required for processing prescriptions for primary Medicaid members.
To fill a new prescription at Walgreens, you can take your prescription and insurance card directly to the pharmacy. You can also have your provider send the prescription to Walgreens electronically, and then bring your insurance card when picking up the medication. If you have any current prescriptions, these can also be transferred to Walgreens. Simply contact your desired Walgreens location and request that they initiate the transfer process.
Walgreens offers a convenient Rx Savings Finder tool to help you find lower medication prices. This tool provides access to third-party prescription discount cards, which can be used to obtain discounts on medications at Walgreens. It's important to note that these prescription discount cards cannot be used in conjunction with prescription drug insurance. Additionally, the amount paid using a prescription discount card will not count towards any deductible or out-of-pocket costs under your insurance plan.
If you prefer, Walgreens also offers prescription delivery options. You can visit their website to choose the shipping option that best suits your needs. Walgreens also provides the option to set up auto-refill prescriptions for added convenience. However, it's important to note that Walgreens reserves the right to remove a prescription from the Auto Refill service due to certain circumstances, such as repeated instances of refills not being picked up or changes made by the prescriber.

Medi-Cal Rx is a prescription drug benefit for California residents enrolled in the Medi-Cal fee-for-service program.

You can search for your medication, and once you find the prescription discount card you would like to use, simply show the card on your phone or provide a printed/emailed/texted version to a Walgreens team member when filling your prescription.
It is important to note that using a prescription discount card means that any insurance you have will not be billed, and the amount paid will not count towards any deductibles or out-of-pocket costs under your insurance plan. Additionally, prescription discount cards cannot be used in conjunction with prescription drug insurance.
If you have been paying cash for your prescriptions, enrolling in Medicare Part D can help you save money.
