EmblemHealth

After a state attorney general investigation revealed that health insurer EmblemHealth Inc. had been denying mental health and substance abuse treatment to thousands of its New York members, the company will now have to pay a penalty of $1.2 million.

The city’s primary health care provider EmblemHealth has opted to forgo a rate increase for the first time in 15 years. It could save the city $300 million in healthcare costs.
