State fines CDPHP $600,000
Albany Times-Union, August 11, 2008
Capital District Physicians' Health Plan of Albany, NY, has agreed to pay a $600,000 fine after the state discovered it withheld information from members between 2004 and 2006 about their right to appeal denied claims. The health insurer will also be contacting members to ensure they have the proper information for how claims are processed, what costs are covered, and how to appeal a claim that has been denied.
