Medicaid List of Covered Drugs and Over the Counter (OTC) Products
This page provides a search for drugs/OTCs covered by NYRx, the Medicaid Pharmacy Program. All drugs covered by NYRx can be found using this tool.
  1. Enter the full name or partial name of the drug (at least 4 letters), and then click the "Search" button. If you search by partial name, the tool will look for all drugs containing those letters, not just those that begin with it. For example, entering "lip" will show Glipizide and Lipitor in the search results.
  2. If your drug is found in the search results, then it is covered by Medicaid.
  3. Please Note: You may get an error message if you search on certain drugs when they contain special characters in the description, for example parentheses (), etc. If this happens, please try entering in a partial name and then click the "search" button to get all matching results. This issue will be addressed in a future release.
Please Note:
Some drugs or supplies ordered by your practitioner (i.e., physician-administered drugs and diapers), might not show in the search results list. This does not necessarily mean the drug or supply is not covered by Medicaid. If you are unsure if a drug or supply is covered, please ask your doctor or pharmacist.
For a complete list of covered supplies, please review the 'Covered Medical Supplies' list here
If a drug in the list says prior approval (PA) is required or may be required, please contact your doctor or pharmacist. Depending on your medical history, they can help you get a PA for that drug or find another drug on the Medicaid Preferred Drug List that is right for you.
