Upon cross-referencing the Medicaid provider book (because Florida apparently hasn't made it into the 21st Century yet, which is to say they do not list Medicaid providers online) and the Medicare provider search function on their website, apparently there is no psychiatric medical care provider in this area who accepts both Medicare and Medicaid. There are only four psychiatrists in Duval County who treat adults (over age 18) and accept Medicaid, and none in Clay County. If you're on Medicaid and need psychiatric care in Clay County, you have to go to the Clay County public mental health facility, which I can't use because I'm not a resident of Clay County.

Somebody suggested that I ask my primary care doctor for a hold-over prescription, at least for my Zoloft, because I am still trying to find a psychiatrist or nurse-practitioner to replace the last nurse-prac who thought I was bipolar. I wish to hell my old psychiatrist took at least Medicare; I liked her.

I tried to get on with River Region Human Services, which is a public health facility, but THEY DON'T TAKE MEDICARE, only Medicaid. What the hell kind of public health facility doesn't take Medicare? Jeez.

In any case, I'm running low on my Zoloft, and I've been taking it every other day instead of every day to try to make my supply last a little longer, but I totally did not think about asking my primary care guy to write me a hold-over script, which he probably would do because he's cool like that.
