As you may know, effective April 1, 2023, pharmacy benefits for Medicaid Managed Care and Health and Recovery Plan (HARP) members are covered under Medicaid Fee for Service (NYRx) and not by Excellus BlueCross BlueShield.

Excellus BlueCross BlueShield is required by the New York State Department of Health to identify participating practitioners who have experience treating HIV/AIDS patients and to make this information available to members in our provider directory.

Section 5005 of the 21^st Century Cures act requires Managed Care Organizations (MCOs) to ensure all eligible Medicaid Managed Care (MMC) and Child Health Plus (CHP) network providers are enrolled with the New York State Fee-for-Service Medicaid program.
