The Fidelis Care Blog

In observance of National Minority Health Month this April, Fidelis Care is raising awareness about the health disparities facing minority populations. This year's theme, “Better Health Through Better Understanding,” focuses on how meeting cultural and linguistic needs can help improve health outcomes for individuals of all ages.

Fidelis Care announced today it will begin an extensive educational outreach and awareness campaign to more than 2 million members across all 62 counties in New York State who will need to renew their health coverage for the first time in three years.

About 12%, or 1 in 8, women in the United States will develop breast cancer during their lifetime. It is the second most common cancer among U.S. women, behind skin cancer.

If you are one of the Fidelis Care members who recently received a letter indicating a possible interruption in prescription coverage, please review the below information. Starting September 1, 2022, Medicaid members must use a prescriber that is enrolled with Medicaid Fee for Service. If your provider is not enrolled with Medicaid Fee for Service, the prescriptions and supplies that he/she prescribed will not be covered. Members with providers not enrolled with Medicaid Fee for Service received a letter from Fidelis Care.
