New York Attorney General Expands Fraud Investigation
On Thursday, New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo (D) said he issued new subpoenas to several health insurers as part of an ongoing fraud investigation. Last month, Cuomo announced that he would investigate whether insurers were using UnitedHealth Group-owned Ingenix to set unjustifiably low reimbursement rates for customers, which results in higher out-of-pocket costs for plan members seeking out-of-network care.
