Enhances Medicaid network transparency and continuity of care by requiring public reporting of network adequacy and safeguarding care during provider.

The bill amends the public health law to strengthen Medicaid network adequacy and continuity of care. It mandates the commissioner to annually update network adequacy guidelines and publicly report survey results, ensuring transparency. Additionally, it requires providers withdrawing from Medicaid networks to give 90 days' notice, allowing enrollees to continue care with their current provider during this period. This aims to prevent disruptions and ensure New Yorkers have timely access to care, regardless of their location.
