Why Call ARS?
• Your call to ARS helps make sure all your workers’ compensation benefits are available to you as soon as possible. Depending on the nature of your injury or illness, benefits may include medical treatment, wage replacements, leave usage and other benefits. • Your call to ARS helps reduce administrative costs by handling much of the work load and tracking injuries and illnesses. • Pharmacy Benefits: The New York State Insurance Fund has entered into an agreement with Express Scripts Inc., a Pharmacy Benefits Manager (PBM), which has a network of pharmacies to make available the medications workers may receive for their work-related injury or sickness. Express Scripts network pharmacies will bill The New York State Insurance Fund directly. You will not have to pay out-of-pocket costs for medication.
