175.970 Reinstate Partial Medicare Part B Coinsurance Payments
The Medical Society of the State of New York will continue to advocate for legislation which would restore New York State Medicaid coinsurance payments for patients insured by both Medicare and Medicaid and work with physicians and patient advocacy groups across the State to identify and bring to the attention of policymakers access issues affecting patients as a result of the elimination of Medicaid coinsurance payments for these dually eligible patients. The MSSNY delegation to the AMA House of Delegates will introduce a resolution calling upon the AMA to support federal legislation which would require coverage of the coinsurance payments for patients insured by both Medicare and Medicaid.
