Commercial Riembursement

Inadequate reimbursement rates from private insurers threaten the future of many of New York State’s community health centers (CHCs) and their ability to continue serving all patients, concludes a new study, Improving Commercial Reimbursement for Health Centers: Case Studies and Recommendations for New York, released recently by the Community Health Care Association of New York State (CHCANYS), and funded by CHCANYS and the RCHN Community Health Foundation.  In addition, the Primary Care Development Corporation just released its own report, New York’s Primary Care Reimbursement System, which analyzes the reimbursement system for the primary care sector and includes principles and recommendations for reforming the system.
