Frequently asked questions

How do I confirm an OB/GYN is in network with Medicaid?

Call the office with the exact name of your Medicaid plan and your member ID, and ask whether the specific clinician you want to see participates. Then check the insurer's online provider directory or call the member services number on your card. The NYS Provider & Health Plan Look-Up also shows networks that health plans report to the state. One insurer can sell many plan products with different networks, so the company name alone is not enough.

Do I need a referral to see an OB/GYN with Medicaid?

Usually not for routine women's health 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, care that follows from them, acute gynecologic conditions and pregnancy care. Other specialists, tests or procedures may still need a referral or prior authorization. Self-funded employer plans follow federal rules, so check your plan documents.

What is Medicaid fee-for-service?

Fee-for-service Medicaid pays enrolled providers directly instead of through a managed care plan. Many New Yorkers with Medicaid are enrolled in a managed care plan instead, and must use that plan's network. Your member card shows which applies to you.

What if my OB/GYN does not take Medicaid?

Ask your plan whether you have out-of-network benefits and what you would pay. If your plan has no in-network provider with the right training for your needs, ask your plan whether it will approve an out-of-network referral at in-network cost. You can also ask the practice for its self-pay prices, or use this directory to find a nearby practice in your network.

Am I protected from surprise medical bills in New York?

Generally, yes. New York law and the federal No Surprises Act protect patients from many surprise bills, such as care from an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or surgery center when an in-network provider was not available, and most emergency care. In those cases you usually owe only your in-network cost-sharing. The NY Department of Financial Services explains the rules and how to dispute a bill.

Why is a practice I know not listed for this plan?

This directory lists a practice under Medicaid only when a published source shows it participates. Many practices accept plans we could not verify. If you are a practice, claim your free listing to add your plans.
