In accordance with Chapter 645 of the Laws of 2005, the New York State (NYS) Medicaid program does not cover prescription or physician-administered drugs used for the treatment of sexual dysfunction (SD) or erectile dysfunction (ED). Additionally, Medicaid does not reimburse any supplies or procedures used to treat SD/ED for persons required to register as sex offenders.
Before providing services to Fidelis Care Medicaid members, providers must first obtain authorization for any prescription or physician-administered drugs and procedures or supplies related to SD or ED. Peyronie’s Disease (N48.6) is also classified as a SD diagnosis by the New York State Department of Health.
