Hi all,
I’m pregnant and due in February. My OB-GYN and planned delivery hospital are Mount Sinai (UES), but I’ve been told Anthem BCBS is dropping Mount Sinai as of Jan 1.
Switching providers this late feels risky, and I’m worried about ending up with an out-of-network delivery and huge costs.
Has anyone:
-Successfully gotten a continuity of care / transition of care exception for pregnancy?
-Dealt with Anthem or Mount Sinai in a similar situation?
-Know whether NY laws offer protections here?
Any advice or experience would really help.
Thank you!!

You should be entitled to continuity of care for pregnancy.
FWIW, they will probably come to some agreement before the deadline. NYP and Aetna did this dance a few years ago too.
