What is NYSMPEP?

The New York State Medicaid Prescriber Education Program (NYSMPEP) is a partnership between the New York State Department of Health (NYSDOH) and the State University of New York (SUNY). NYSMPEP, formed in response to legislation in April 2008, educates prescribers on evidence-based, non-commercial pharmacotherapy information.

The goal of the program is to optimize the quality of care for NYS Medicaid members by providing prescribers the most current information on best practices in pharmaceuticals and therapeutics.
