the total cost of the prescription is covered by Medicaid and
at no cost to the consumer. However, if you are in the process of spending down
your assets – meaning you are using your own money to pay for
medical costs until Medicaid coverage begin – the Discount Drug Card
can be used until you become eligible for the Medicaid benefit.
