Mr. Cuomo said June 5 insurers exiting the New York State of Health marketplace would be prohibited from participating in Medicaid, Child Health Plus and the Essential Plan programs. The new regulations will be implemented through the New York State Department of Financial Services.
Paul Macielak, president and CEO of NYHPA, said June 5, “There are issues about the legality and timing of the directive to ban plans that don’t participate on the exchange from the Medicaid, Child Health Plus and Essential Plan markets, and the impact it might have on the overall marketplace in New York.”
Mr. Macielak added, “In many ways, the governor’s press release has the potential to create more uncertainty for plans than the uncertainty of the proposals being discussed in Washington.”
