NYRx, the Medicaid Pharmacy Program
NYRx Education & Outreach
NYRx Education & Outreach
On April 1, 2023, the prescription drug benefit for all Medicaid members enrolled in a Mainstream Managed Care Plan, Health and Recovery Plan (HARP), and HIV-Special Needs Plan (HIV-SNP) was transitioned to NYRx, the Medicaid Pharmacy Program. In addition to the existing Medicaid member and provider helplines, starting Monday, April 3, there is a dedicated team, led by Magellan, to support care coordination.
The Education and Outreach team serves as a liaison between the Managed Care Plans and NYRx to support care coordination. Clinical liaisons are trained to support and help solve complex pharmacy cases for:
- Managed Care Plans
- Case workers and New York State agencies
- Prescribers and pharmacies with questions regarding NYRx drug coverage, prior approval requirements, and NYRx enrolled pharmacies
- Complex care coordination for populations such as HIV/AIDS, Hemophilia, Foster Care children, Serious Mental Illness, Substance Use Disorder, and Hepatitis C
To contact the Education and Outreach team call (833) 967-7310. The call center is available Monday through Friday 8am until 5pm ET.
NYRx program-related questions and non-member-specific questions can be emailed to NYRxEO@magellanhealth.com.
