N.Y. court ruling a victory - for society members
Article Abstract:
The New York State Court of Appeals ruled in Dec 1995 that only physicians who were members of the Medical Society of the State of New York filing as participants in a suit are entitled to be reimbursed by the state for certain Medicare Part B services. Claims for patients with both Medicare and Medicaid eligibility for services rendered between 1987 and 1992 are estimated by the state to be as high as $250 million. Payments would go only to the approximately 27,000 physicians who are society members out of a total of 63,000 physicians in the state.
