What medications are covered?

Want to know in advance what medications MetroPlusHealth will help pay for? Look it up in your plan formulary. A formulary is a list of prescription drugs and therapies that an insurer has approved for its members.

We will generally cover anything listed in our formulary as long as the drug is medically necessary, the prescription is filled at a MetroPlusHealth network pharmacy, and other plan rules are followed. Your plan benefits page can explain in more detail. Of course, if you still have questions, you can always call or contact us.

Effective March 22, 2022, prior authorization will not be required for medications used for the treatment of substance use disorder prescribed according to generally accepted national professional guidelines for the treatment of a substance use disorder. Prescriptions written outside of accepted guidelines may be subject to prior authorization. For more information and a list of medications, please visit here.

Prescriptions for a brand name multi-source drug will be filled with a generic equivalent, as required by New York State Social Services and Education Law, unless the Prescriber indicates “Dispense as Written (DAW)”, and “Brand Medically Necessary” on the prescription.
