Each year, New York State (via the DFS and Department of Health) receives complaints about health insurance companies from consumers and health care providers. Complaints typically involve issues related to prompt payment, reimbursement, coverage, benefits, rates and premiums. The New York Consumer Guide to Health Insurers contains a ranking of HMOs and health insurance companies based on complaint statistics and enrollee satisfaction surveys and includes information on the number of successful appeals to independent external review agents. This Guide may help you when choosing a health insurance company. The Guide also contains telephone numbers for health insurance companies.
The guides available on this page are in PDF format.
