165.953              Accountability for HMO Termination of a Physician by Mistake:

MSSNY will actively seek legislation or regulation which holds an HMO or managed care plan accountable for all damages incurred by a physician as the result of termination notification which was made in error, to the physician’s patients. MSSNY will take all action necessary to assure that physicians are informed of their rights when terminated by a plan or when patients are inappropriately notified of a physician’s termination from the plan.
