Charges for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by Participating Providers
8/7/2020 • Posted by Provider Relations in Provider News

On August 5th, The New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) posted Circular Letter #14 regarding Charges for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) by Participating Providers.  PPE consists of personal protective equipment such as masks, gowns and gloves. The DFS letter reminds participating providers that they should not charge insured members fees that are above their responsibility for covered services.   

In adherence to the letter and the Fidelis Care Provider Manual, participating providers are reminded not to bill, seek, or accept payment from Fidelis Care members other than copayments, coinsurance, or deductible. Participating providers should contact Fidelis Care at 1-888-FIDELIS to report if charges have been inappropriately sought or collected from our members and begin issuing refunds to impacted members.
