70.938 Changes in Insurance Accepted by Pharmacies
The Medical Society of the State of New York will seek legislation that will require pharmacies to contact all physicians and patients affected by the pharmacy’s cessation of participation in a specific health insurance plan and also require the transfer, with notice to the patient, of all new and pending prescription refills to a pharmacy that accepts the patients’ insurance. MSSNY will seek through regulation or legislation the creation of a prescription clearing house that would reduce the existing hassles of the current system for patients, pharmacies and physicians.
