This GIS is to inform local departments of social services and the Human Resources Administration (HRA) of changes to the Family Health Plus (FHPlus) program pursuant to Chapter 58 of the Laws of 2008. Effective October 1, 2008, the prescription drug benefit under the FHPlus Program will be administered through the Medicaid Program. Currently, FHPlus recipients receive their drug benefit through their health plan.
Beginning October 1, 2008, FHPlus recipients must use a NYS Common Benefit Identification Card (CBIC) to obtain pharmacy benefits. To ensure each recipient has a CBIC by the 10/1/08 implementation date, modifications to the system will be made in two steps.
