Family Health Plus
How is health care provided?
Health care in the Family Health Plus program is provided through managed care plans. You must select a participating health plan when you apply for Family Health Plus. Every effort will be made to help you pick a plan that includes your current physician. When you choose a health plan, you will have a regular doctor, get regular check-ups and see specialists if needed. Some plans also offer dental care.
On or after October 1, 2008, your pharmacy benefit will be obtained through the Medicaid Program. You will receive a New York State Common Benefit Identification Card (Benefit Identification Card) to be used at a New York State Medicaid enrolled pharmacy.
