Physicians, read below and stay vigilant!

AN URGENT MESSAGE FROM MLMIC’s CHIEF MEDICAL OFFICER, JOHN LOMBARDO, MD, FACS
Dear Policyholders:

Please be aware that healthcare providers are the target in an ongoing scam. Individuals pretend to be from the DEA or pretend to be State and/or Federal officials. In many cases, the caller alleges an infraction that would compromise the healthcare provider’s medical license.

There seems to be an increase in frequency of these fraudulent communications in healthcare, and we want you all to be vigilant.

If you receive a fraudulent call or communication from anyone purporting to be from the DEA or any other State or Federal body, please review the Scam Alert on the DEA website, https://www.dea.gov/scam-alert, and follow the instructions provided.

Stay vigilant and keep your Personal Identifiable Information safe. Thank you for being a MLMIC policyholder. It is a privilege to serve you.

Questions? Please call (800) ASK-MLMIC.

Physicians entered medicine to treat, heal, and stand beside patients through their most vulnerable moments – and to use their years of medical training to help patients make the best health care decisions. That’s why 95% of patients agree that doctors should be central to treatment decisions. Learn more: https://www.ama-assn.org/practice-management/scope-practice/scope-practice-education-matters

New York physicians deserve a healthcare system that protects physician-led care, reduces administrative burden, and keeps medical decisions where they belong: between patients and their physicians.

has joined the federal antitrust litigation against MultiPlan (recently rebranded as Claritev) and major insurance companies over alleged price-fixing that has been shortchanging physicians and limiting patient care.

Since at least 2015, physicians have been forced to accept increasingly low payment amounts for out-of-network services while the profits of insurance companies soar. We are standing with hundreds of providers nationwide to fight for fair reimbursement.

Healthcare providers who believe they have been affected by MultiPlan’s alleged scheme can receive a free case evaluation.

The court also has appointed attorneys to litigate a proposed antitrust class action on the same issues, but a ruling on any proposed class certification is not expected until 2027. Providers who believe they have been impacted by MultiPlan’s conduct can choose to pursue their claims individually on a non-class basis and do not need to wait for any ruling on a proposed class.

Every patient deserves a trusted physician to be on their side, explaining health conditions, answering questions, and ensuring patients truly understand their care. Physicians bring expertise, empathy, and years of training to the patient-physician relationship – and Medicaid protects a physician’s ability to provide care and ensures access to care for patients who need it most.

When we strengthen Medicaid, we strengthen the patient-physician relationship. More: https://ow.ly/v4r450YOZ6u
