265.850 UCR-Based Out-Of-Network Policies
MSSNY will continue to advocate strongly for preservation and expansion of usual, customary and reasonable (UCR) based out-of-network benefits available to our patients; and energetically and proactively educate physicians on the importance of a meaningful UCR-based out-of-network environment in order to maintain an acceptable practice environment for physicians desiring to practice in-network as well as those physicians who are employed by an institution.
MSSNY will include in the educational materials, the identification of access to other information including links to social media as well as successfully implemented business strategies concerning how the meaningful UCR-based out-of-network environment may be a viable option for physicians who wish to maintain independent out-of-network practices.
MSSNY will proactively educate patients, employer groups and insurance agents on a UCR- based out-of-network plan. (HOD 2016-105 & 106)
