Prescription drug benefits

We want to help you get the most out of your Part D prescription drug benefits. To confirm that your drugs are covered and to see which medications fall under each tier, use the Healthfirst prescription drug search tool or view the CompleteCare (HMO D-SNP) formulary. Healthfirst may add drugs to or remove them from its Medicare formulary during the year. You will receive notice when changes are made.

All Part D Drugs
$0 copay
Quantity Limits (QL)

For safety and cost reasons, plans may limit the amount of a prescription drug they cover over a certain period of time. For example, most people who are prescribed heartburn medication take one tablet a day for four weeks. Therefore, a plan may cover only an initial 30-day supply of the heartburn medication. The quantity allowed is listed after the QL symbol in your formulary and may be read as “units per days’ supply.” If your prescription for any of these medications exceeds the maximum quantity listed, you and your doctor will need to request a formulary exception.

Additional benefits

Talk to a doctor any time—for a $0 copay. Visit with board-certified doctors through video chat or phone for prescriptions, treatment of non-emergency health issues, and more. Access to virtual dermatologists and mental health services is also available.

Talk to a nurse any time—for a $0 copay. Get wellness advice and help finding a doctor.

Frequently asked questions

When you're eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid, you qualify for a Dual-Eligible Special Needs Plan (D-SNP) like CompleteCare. Such a plan is designed to simplify how you receive care. Our care coordination helps all parts of your healthcare work together, rather than separately.

Instead of managing your care alone, you have access to a dedicated Care Team that can help:

  • Coordinate appointments between your primary care provider and specialists
  • Make sure your medications work well together and are safe to take at the same time
  • Help you understand your benefits and what services are covered
  • Connect you to additional support, including home care or community-based services

This is especially important for people managing chronic conditions such as diabetes, dementia, heart disease, or COPD, or who have mobility limitations that demand ongoing care and monitoring.

One of the biggest advantages of a D-SNP like CompleteCare is how it brings Medicare and Medicaid together under one plan. Without coordination, these programs can feel disconnected-covering different services with different rules.

CompleteCare helps coordinate your care by:

  • Connecting your medical care with long-term services and supports
  • Reducing confusion about who pays for what
  • Helping avoid delays in care or duplicated services

Your healthcare needs don't stay the same. Whether you're recovering from a hospital stay or managing a long-term condition, care coordination helps ensure your coverage changes with you.

CompleteCare supports you with:

  • Help after hospital discharge
  • Ongoing check-ins from care managers
  • Adjusting services as your health or living situation changes

The goal is simple: to help you receive the right care, at the right time, and in the right place.

CompleteCare provides a Care Team that will cover home care services such as short-term home healthcare like skilled nursing care and therapies and long-term services like a Personal Care Aide.

The Healthfirst CompleteCare (HMO D-SNP) plan covers preventive dental care such as semi-annual checkups, cleanings, and fluoride treatment. Plus, comprehensive dental care, including dentures and replacements, crowns, root canals, extractions, and implants.

Search for an in-network dentist at HFDocFinder.org.

Dental services must be medically necessary; limitations and exclusions apply.

Dual Eligible Special Needs Plans are designed specifically for people who qualify for both Medicare and Medicaid.

In general, you may qualify for a D-SNP like CompleteCare if:

  • You are enrolled in Medicare Part A and Part B, and
  • You qualify for Medicaid based on income and/or health needs

This combination is often referred to as being "dual eligible."

To qualify for CompleteCare, you must also:

  • Be 18 years old or older
  • Reside within New York City's five boroughs
  • Require nursing home level of care (as of the time of enrollment)
  • Have the ability, at the time of enrollment, to return to or remain in your home and community without danger to your health and/or safety
  • Be in need of Community Based Long-Term Services and Supports (CBLTSS) for more than 120 days from the effective date of enrollment and meet the minimum needs requirements

See Costs and Plan Details for more information.

There are no out-of-pocket costs for in-network covered services for CompleteCare members. Be sure to take advantage of your plan benefits, such as no-cost annual physical and dental checkups, to keep you healthy and identify potential health risks early.

  • Make sure you see an in-network doctor or facility for treatment to avoid surprise bills.
  • Visit an urgent care center for non-emergency issues such as colds or flu, sprains, and wounds.
  • Ask your in-network doctor or pharmacist for 90-day prescription refills.
  • Use your convenient telemedicine benefit whenever you cannot see a healthcare provider in person.

Pharmacy benefits are different for each Healthfirst health insurance plan. Please check your plan's formulary for more information on which prescription medicines and other items are covered.

Healthfirst has partnered with CVS Caremark to bring you a personal prescription drug account that will give you 24/7 access to important drug benefit information and tools that will make getting your prescription drugs easier. Click here to create your account or log in.
