130.937 Exclusion of Physicians from the New York State Health Benefit Exchanges
The Medical Society of the State of New York will continue to advocate to the Governor’s office, New York State Health Insurance Exchange officials, the New York State Legislature and New York’s Congressional delegation that all plans sold inside and outside of New York’s Health Insurance Exchange have robust physician networks that enable patients to have sufficient choice of treating physicians and enable patients to continue to be covered for care provided by physicians with whom there are long-standing treatment relationships. The Medical Society of the State of New York will take efforts to prevent hospitals from directing their physician employees to not refer patients to private-practice physicians. The Medical Society of the State of New York will continue its ongoing public relations efforts to assure the public and policymakers are aware of the problems of narrow insurer networks.
