Had someone come into my pharmacy years ago with a prescription for an air conditioner.
Which they wanted Medicaid to pay for.
I told them Medicaid doesn't pay for home appliances, and they said there was a medical need for it, so they should.
I said look around you, this is a pharmacy. Do you see any air conditioners on the shelves? (Yeah I know some chains sell them now, this was 2001.) Plus even if I had one, I have no ability to bill for it. Finally told them to take it to a surgical supply and see what they can do. (Which will probably be nothing, but at least they're elsewhere and not wasting my time.)
