265.888 Denial of Reimbursement Based on Volume of Procedures Peformed:
MSSNY will communicate its concern to the New York State Commissioner of Health, as well as to the Governor and State Legislature, regarding a newly implemented health department policy whereby payment for procedures or treatments performed at certain hospitals will be discontinued based on the volume performed within a calendar year, and work with the Department to monitor the impact of this policy on patient access to quality care within their community; and will create a multi-specialty work group to study the scientific relationship, if any, between low volume procedures and patient access to and the delivery of quality medical care. (Council 11/19/09; Reaffirmed HOD 2019)
