EmblemHealth and New York City-based NewYork-Presbyterian have reached an agreement.
NewYork-Presbyterian will continue to partake in all of EmblemHealth’s products.
“EmblemHealth is proud to partner with the City of New York and its municipal unions to provide affordable, reliable health coverage for working families and retirees,” an EmblemHealth spokesperson said in an Aug. 3 news release. “We are continuing to work with hospitals and clinicians to achieve these goals.”
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit against NewYork-Presbyterian March 26, alleging stifled competition through constrained payer contracts. The lawsuit follows a civil antitrust investigation that started last summer.
