VNS Health New York Plans We Work With
VNS Health EasyCare Plus
VNS Health EasyCare Plus (HMO D-SNP) is a Medicare Advantage plan for people who have both Medicare and Medicaid. The plan is available in Queens, among other New York counties, and includes prescription drugs and extra benefits that regular Medicare does not cover. If you are a member of this VNS Health plan, bring your card to Colombia Pharmacy to use your OTC benefit, and our team will check your coverage and eligibility.
VNS Health EasyCare and Other VNS Health Medicare Plans
VNS Health EasyCare (HMO) is also a Medicare Advantage plan. Both EasyCare and EasyCare Plus include an allowance for eligible over-the-counter items, but the amount and the rules change by plan and by year. Check your member materials, or ask our team, to see what applies to you among the VNS Health plans.
Not Sure Which VNS Health Plan You Have?
Look at the front of your VNS Health insurance card, or call the member services number printed on it. If you still have questions, bring the card to the pharmacy and our team will help you confirm your coverage.
VNS Health Benefits You Can Use at Our Pharmacy
VNS Health OTC Card
Use your VNS Health OTC allowance to buy over-the-counter medicine and approved health items, such as vitamins and personal care products. At Colombia Pharmacy, present your VNS Health OTC card at the register and the eligible amount is deducted from your available balance. If your total is higher than your balance, you can pay the difference with another accepted payment method. Not sure what counts? See our OTC card guide for the products you can buy with your VNS OTC benefits.
Check Your OTC Balance Before You Shop
Call the number on your card, check your plan's app or member portal, or ask our team at the pharmacy. OTC allowances usually expire at the end of each benefit period, so it is best to use them on time.
Prescription Transfers and Special Medication Orders
Have a prescription at another pharmacy? We handle the transfer for you in minutes at no additional cost. If a medication is out of stock or hard to find, request it with us and we will have it ready for pickup at the store the next day. For questions about how your VNS Health plan covers a specific drug, see the next section.
VNS Formulary Drug List and Prior Authorization: Questions About Your Medications
VNS Formulary Drug List: How to Check If Your Medication Is Covered
Each VNS Health plan has its own formulary, or drug list, published by the plan, and VNS Health is the one that decides what is covered. You can look up your medication with the drug search tool on the VNS Health Plans website, or call the member services number on your card.
Does Your Medication Need Prior Authorization?
Some medications need approval from your plan before they are covered. In that case, your doctor sends the request to VNS Health using the plan's prior authorization form, and VNS Health makes the decision. Colombia Pharmacy does not approve prior authorizations; ask your doctor's office to contact VNS Health.
