If my prescription drugs are now paid for by my state Medicaid program, will Medicaid still pay for drugs I take that aren't covered by Medicare prescription drug coverage (such as sleeping pills or prescription vitamins)?

If the State covers that kind of drug for people who get Medicaid but don't have Medicare, then Medicaid must still cover that drug for you. You need to check with your state Medicaid program to see if it will cover a drug not covered by Medicare.
