The Impact of Ghost Networks on Health Care
Season 2024
Episode 63
Ghost networks—inaccurate, outdated lists of providers— are posing significant challenges for mental health patients. Assembly Bill 236 seeks to address these inaccuracies by allowing state regulators to fine insurers for outdated lists. Advocates argue this is crucial for improving access to care, while insurers and providers dispute the bill's fairness.
