295.992           Continued Surgical Care

The Medical Society of the State of New York (MSSNY) will seek legislation/regulation which would allow a physician who has performed an initial surgical procedure to continue to follow the patient and perform any necessary follow up surgery, regardless of the physician’s change in participation status and any follow-up surgery performed by a physician whose participation status changed from when the initial surgery was performed, be reimbursed on an out-of-network basis. MSSNY will forward this resolution to the AMA for implementation on a national level.
