How insurance networks work in New York

A health insurance company usually sells many plan products, and each one can have a different network. An office that takes one Aetna or Empire plan may not take another, and some plans place providers in tiers with different copays. Medicaid managed care, the Essential Plan and Medicare Advantage plans each have their own networks too.

Before you book, call the office with the exact plan name and member ID on your card, and check your insurer's provider directory or member services line. If something goes wrong, the NY Department of Financial Services explains your protections against surprise bills.

Frequently asked questions

How do insurance networks work for OB/GYN care in New York?

Each insurer sells several plan products, such as HMO, EPO, PPO, Medicaid managed care, Essential Plan and Medicare Advantage, and each product can have its own network and tiers. A practice can be in network for one product from a company and out of network for another. Always give the office the exact plan name on your card.

How does this directory decide that a practice takes a plan?

We list a plan for a practice only when a source we checked shows it: the practice's own website, its health system's published insurance list, or network data that health plans report to the NYS Provider & Health Plan Look-Up. Every listing links to its source. Many practices accept plans we have not been able to verify.

Do I need a referral to see an OB/GYN in New York?

Usually not for routine care. New York law bars HMOs and state-regulated insurers from limiting a woman's direct access to an in-network OB/GYN for annual exams, follow-up care, acute gynecologic conditions and pregnancy care. Self-funded employer plans follow federal rules, so check your plan documents.

Am I protected from surprise medical bills?

Often, yes. New York law and the federal No Surprises Act protect patients from many surprise out-of-network bills, such as care at an in-network hospital from an out-of-network provider you did not choose, and most emergency care. In those cases you usually owe only your in-network cost-sharing.
