Cuomo goes after UnitedHealth Group

Doctors and dollars

Typically, reimbursement rates for out-of-network physicians are based on what is generally accepted as the "reasonable and customary" rates charged by doctors in a a common geographic area. But who determines what is reasonable and customary? The attorney general's staff is focusing on a company known as Ingenix, which collects data that are used by health insurance companies to determine what is charged in a particular region and how much a company will reimburse out-of-network physicians, based on prevailing rates in that area.
