Complaints and Appeals
We hope our health plan serves you well. But if you have a problem, you can talk with your PCP, or call or write our Member Services. Most problems can be solved right away. If you have a problem or dispute with your care or services, you can file a complaint with us. Problems that are not solved right away over the phone — and any complaint that comes in the mail — will be handled according to our complaint procedure described here.
Access to a doctor—whenever and wherever you need it!
MetroPlusHealth Virtual Visit is the fast, easy way for our members to see a provider for common physical, mental, emotional, and behavioral health issues that are not emergencies. MetroPlusHealth Virtual Visit is available anytime, from anywhere in New York State, 24/7 – and in your language.
Know your rights and protections against surprise medical bills!
When you get emergency care or are treated by an out-of-network provider at an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, you are protected from balance billing. In these cases, you shouldn’t be charged more than your plan’s copayments, coinsurance and/or deductible.
