Why do I keep seeing N/A in the search results with a short explanation of N/A – Price information not available to the Dept. of Health?
The Department of Health obtains the usual and customary price information from claims submitted by pharmacies to the Medicaid program for reimbursement and the price information submitted directly by pharmacies. Not all New York State pharmacies participate in the medicaid program or voluntarily report drug price information. Also, the claims may not include all the drugs in the 150 frequently prescribed list. When the Department of Health does not have price information an “N/A” will be displayed for the price.
