Any other New Yorkers get anything in the mail. I don't fully understand the letter myself and would like to know if any other people know.

If you have a secondary insurance through NY medicaid like United Healthcare (I have this) or HIP or whichever, (Which you should, the last time I talked to my social worker about this she said all Medicaid applicants have to do this) that company will be the one paying for your scripts, not Medicaid. You will begin to use your secondary insurance card that they mailed to you (should have mailed a new one with codes and more info on the back and front) at the pharmacy.
