NJ FamilyCare covers pharmacy billing for eligible New Jersey beneficiaries, delivering most of that benefit through managed care organizations with a remaining fee-for-service population.

Across West New York's 36 organizations, even a few percentage points of MCO-routing error compounds into material rework.
