Note: Since January of 2014 some non-Medicaid eligible individuals have been able to purchase health insurance coverage through the ACA’s health insurance exchange. Health insurance coverage consisting of excepted benefits, such as dental-only coverage is not included in minimum essential coverage. Why buying term and investing the difference makes more sense than cash value life insurance? That’s 74 more chances per claim of having a New York court find something wrong with the insurer’s claim handling, and 74 more chances per claim of having a denial invalidated on technical non-compliance grounds. This denial is due to the patient’s Medicare/other insurance coverage having been terminated (usually voluntary) prior to receiving the services.

I’ll probably wait until after the New York State Insurance Department completes its revisions on Regulation 68 and the prescribed no-fault forms before creating and uploading any more fillable forms. The complete and updated set of fillable prescribed NY no-fault forms is here. Does anyone actually think adding 74 new “shalls” directed at no-fault insurers will reduce provider litigation? At rough count, this proposed revised regulation imposes 74 new “shalls” or requirements on no-fault insurers not found in the current regulation. We also consider the effects of adverse selection, in a context where insurers cannot distinguish honest policyholders from potential defrauders, as well as the consequences of credibility constraints on anti-fraud policies.
