Attention RI Medicaid Members: Update on Prescription Access Due to a cybersecurity issue, a contractor serving pharmacies and Medicaid programs across the US is unable to provide important online services at this time. In Rhode Island, this situation impacted pharmacies’ ability to fill prescriptions for members of the AIDS Drug Assistance Program (ADAP) and the Medicaid Program. In response, RI EOHHS has quickly brought online a new way for pharmacies to process claims. Rhode Island Medicaid has also told pharmacies that they can provide a 30-day supply of any prescriptions you are trying to fill, to help you get through this time. The pharmacy should not charge you for any prescription that is covered by Medicaid. Learn more.
