Covered Medical Supplies
NYRx, the Medicaid Pharmacy Program
What supplies are covered by NYRx, the Medicaid Pharmacy Program
The NYRx Medicaid Pharmacy Program covers a list of medical supplies that are not covered by your medical benefit. These medical supplies are available from a pharmacy or durable medical equipment (DME) supplier. Products covered by NYRx are listed in the PDF. You can also find certain products, e.g., "test strip," in the OTC products search tool.
If your medical supply requires prior authorization (PA), this does not mean it is not covered. It just means we need additional information to approve the request, ask your Doctor or Pharmacist for help.
Some medical supplies, called Durable Medical Equipment (DME), such as wheelchairs, etc. may not be found on this list. This does not mean the DME item is not covered. It may be available through your Medical Benefit, so please ask your Doctor or Pharmacist. Other common DME supplies that may be available through your Medical Benefit include: hospital beds, hospital grade breast pumps, nebulizers with compressors, compression socks, braces, hearing aids, orthotics and prosthetics, CPAP machines, BIPAP machines, or oxygen.
If you can't find the medical supply or category that you are looking for or if you have a question about your medical supply on this list, ask your Doctor or Pharmacist for help.
