Sounds like it. Just today I asked specifically about the advertised $10 copay and was told that is for patients with commercial insurance. People on government-issued insurance get it free. If you have both Medicare and Medicaid, the 'script is good for a year. If Medicare only, like me, the 'script must be renewed every January.

The wording on the website is quite misleading.
