Gov. Cuomo Announces Consumer Assistance for Storm-related Insurance Claims

The governor has announced a resource for storm victims to refer complaints regarding insurance company processing of storm related claims.  The DFS Mediation Program for Disputed or Denied Insurance Claims website is a resource for both individuals and organizations.  Members who are experiencing problems in dealing with their insurance company can go directly to the How to File a Complaint section of the Department of Financial Services website and follow the instructions.

Members should also note that for a limited time DOH is still considering attestations for storm-impacted nursing homes interested in accelerated Medicaid payments through the suspension of the two-week lag.  For more details, please click here.  (Please refer to February 19th Intelligence for further info)
