Mount Sinai Stops Accepting New Patients with Centene Medicaid and Medicare Plans
Mount Sinai Health System in New York City has stopped accepting new patients enrolled in Centene's Fidelis Care Medicaid, exchange, and Medicare Advantage plans, as well as Wellcare Medicare Advantage plans. The health system removed public notices about the change from its website after initially posting them. The effective date and whether existing patients are affected remain unclear from available information. The move raises questions about network adequacy and access for Medicaid and Medicare Advantage enrollees in New York City, particularly those covered by Centene products.
A major academic health system closing its doors to new Medicaid and Medicare Advantage patients signals potential network adequacy issues and could trigger regulatory scrutiny from New York State and CMS over access standards.
