The sponsor's argument

Why Gustavo Rivera says this is needed

The relationship between a patient and their physician is integral to the effective and efficient provision of quality health care services. The better a physician knows a patient, knows the patient's history, is aware of the patient's level of participation in improving their own health and can meld these factors with the scientific practice of medi- cine, the more likely the patient will receive the best and most effi- cient health care. As part of New York's Managed Care Bill of Rights, the Legislature recognized the value gained by preserving the patient's relationships with their provider by establishing meaningful due process protections for all providers by prohibiting plans from term inating a provider without notice. However, when a contract is not-renewed these protections are not triggered. This bill would ensure providers in non-renewals are provided essential information related to the rationale as to why a decision to not renew was made as well as potential solutions to address the issue, where appropriate, if the health insurance plan's concern(s) has a potential solution.

This is the sponsor's own case for the bill, quoted from their memorandum. It is not Agora's description of what the bill does.
