title: N.Y. Medicaid ups the ante. By refusing to pay for 14 'never events,' the nation's biggest Medicaid program could propel other states into action.
abstract: The trend of insurers adopting policies regarding not paying for some medical errors hit a new level when New York officials decided its Medicaid program will no longer pay for 14 "never events." It's a move winning praise, since the state doesn't include more-complex hospital-acquired conditions. "We wanted to stick with a list of things that, frankly, should never happen," says Richard Daines, left, state health commissioner.
