265.825 Financial Penalties and Clinical Decision Making
The Medical Society of the State of New York opposes the practice of a payer utilizing statistical targets to determine the cost-effectiveness of a therapeutic choice and imposing financial penalties upon individual physicians and/or associated physicians based upon use of statistical targets without first considering the clinical factors unique to each patient’s claim. This resolution will be transmitted to the American Medical Association for consideration at its next House of Delegates meeting. (HOD 2019-60)
