State insurance regulators on Monday imposed a hefty $1 million fine on HealthNow New York for multiple violations of state law, but the Buffalo-based company said it has already corrected past claims practices.
The state penalized Buffalo’s largest health insurer for improperly denying claims for infertility treatment and for not giving consumers enough notice of rate hikes.
