What NYRx means for you

What to bring
- Your New York State Medicaid benefit card
- Your managed care plan card, if you have one
- Your prescriptions, or the name of your current pharmacy so we can transfer them
Copays
New York Medicaid copays for prescriptions are small, and many people — including children and pregnant people — have no copay. You can’t be denied a medication because you can’t pay the copay, though you may still owe it.
