NY Essential Plan
The New York Essential Drug List is a list of prescription medications
approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). We’ve reviewed these
drugs through our Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) Process, which considers
a drug’s:
- Effectiveness
- Safety
- Similarity to other drugs within
a therapeutic class
- Affordability
PLEASE NOTE: Your coverage has limitations and
exclusions. This means that some drugs on this list may not be covered,
depending on your plan’s design. For example, your plan might not
cover certain drugs for cosmetic uses or to treat conditions such as weight
loss, infertility, or erectile dysfunction. To find out if your drug is
covered, log into your member portal or use the Sydney app to Price a Medication and
refer to your plan documents.
