New York IDR support for provider payment disputes.

Pathway overview

Start with the governing plan and claim facts.

New York maintains an independent dispute resolution process for qualifying emergency-service and surprise-bill payment disputes. The state process and the federal No Surprises Act can apply to different coverage arrangements, so plan status is a threshold question.

Important distinctions

What provider teams should identify early.

• New York-regulated coverage and employer or union self-funded coverage can follow different pathways.
• Providers and insurers use the New York DFS portal to obtain a case number for qualifying state disputes.
• The assigned IDR entity reviews the parties’ submissions under the applicable New York process.
