     New Pharmacy Vendor Effective July 1, 2025

    The NY44 Health Benefits Plan Trust (“Trust”) is pleased to announce that, effective July 1, 2025, Rightway will replace Capital Rx as the Trust’s new pharmacy vendor.  The Trust Board of Trustees voted to make this change and expects that it will result in better service and lower costs.

    Since this change is not effective until July 1, 2025, all members should continue to access pharmacy services through Capital Rx until July 1.
