No, but you need to fill out a Renewal application every year to maintain your NJ FamilyCare Medicaid coverage. Call NJ FamilyCare at 1-800-701-0710 (TTY 1-800-701-0720) to find out your renewal date or to ask for a renewal form.

We try to give you the best health care experience we can. You can file a complaint (grievance) online if you’re unhappy with the service you got from us or one of our providers. 

 

You also have the right to ask for an appeal or “reconsideration” if we denied services or payment you believe we should have covered.

Our network providers bill the plan directly for your covered services and drugs – you should not receive a bill. If you get a bill for medical care or drugs you have received, you should save the bill and immediately contact the plan.

 

You should not pay the bill. We will review the bill and decide whether the services and drugs should be covered.

Pharmacy 

A List of Covered Drugs (Formulary) is a list of drugs that a health plan covers. We also refer to it as the drug list. The Pharmacy and Therapeutics (P&T) committee is a group of providers and pharmacists. They help us choose the right drugs for the Drug List

 

Use our Drug List search tool

If your drug isn’t on our Drug List, you can:

 

  • Ask your provider for a similar one that is on the list

  • Ask your provider to request an exception to cover this drug

Providers believe some drugs should be used only after you’ve tried other drugs first. 

 
Questions about prior authorization? Just call us at 1-844-362-0934 (TTY: 711). We’re here 8 AM to 8 PM, 7 days a week. 

Quantity limits are set for different reasons. Some drugs have a maximum limit or a maximum dose for safety reasons. Clinical staff review and set limits. 

 

We do make exceptions in some cases. Ask your Provider to contact us. We’ll review the information from your Provider and make a decision. 

You can still get care if one of these authorities declares a state of disaster or emergency in your area:

 

  • Governor of your state

  • U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services

  • President of the United States  

If you can’t use a network provider in a disaster: Your plan allows you to get care from out-of-network providers. 

 

If you can’t use a network pharmacy in a disaster: You may be able to get your prescription drugs at an out-of-network pharmacy.
