195.987 Opposition To Limitations on Medicare Contracts:
MSSNY will support corrective legislation concerning the Section 4507 of the Balanced Budget Act to allow Medicare beneficiaries to enter into private contracts for provision of medical care without any significant preconditions being imposed either on the patient or on those providing the care. MSSNY will specifically seek to abolish the requirement that the physicians providing care under a private contract must forego participating in the Medicare program for two years.
