OTC medications

 

Kentucky Medicaid covers certain over the counter (OTC) drugs that are products that are available to all consumers for purchase without a prescription.

 

In order for an OTC drug to be covered under your benefit at no cost to you or your family, a prescription for the OTC product is required to be written by your physician and presented at the pharmacy.

 

Click here for a list of all Over-the-Counter Products that are covered beginning 7/1/2021.

 

Please have your physician review this list to determine if the OTC product you need is covered. Also, please remember to consult your prescriber or pharmacist before taking these drugs.

 

If you have any questions, please contact MedImpact at 1-800-210-7628 (TTY: 711) or visit their website.
