Abilify is yet another expensive psych med. Most state medicaid programs do only allow X amount of "brand named" expensive meds. This is common.

The generic Abilify was approved April 28,2015... Its possible your Pdoc just needs to fill out exception forms. Medicaid does often request that certain meds are tried before allowing others.

I have a friend, her husband is on numerous breathing medications and its always a juggle to find adequate medications that help his severe problems , he is on Oxygen 24/7 . but Medicaid still has many med restrictions for him, and limits on brand names.

Was medicaid paying for your Invega? That one does not have a generic version and is expensive. I took it before, I have great drug insurance thankfully but out of pocket would have been almost 1000.00 a month
