Fidelis clients lose Northwell access

Northwell Health patients insured through Fidelis on Long Island and across the state must find new providers or pay out-of-network costs after a contract dispute prevented renewal of their coverage agreement. About 200,000 Long Islanders and hundreds of thousands statewide, including Medicaid and Essential Plan enrollees, are affected; emergency care remains available at Northwell hospitals. Patients with ongoing needs, such as pregnancy or chronic conditions, can continue treatment until specified dates, after which they must switch providers or plans. Northwell cited concerns that accepting Fidelis’s proposed rates would lead to reductions in staff and essential services.
