§ 238-c. Provider reporting requirements. Each health care provider
providing clinical laboratory, pharmacy services, radiation therapy
services, physical therapy services or x-ray or imaging services shall
report to the commissioner in writing every two years information
concerning the provider's ownership arrangements, including the health
or health related items or services provided by the provider and the
names and professional license numbers or any appropriate program
provider numbers of practitioners with an ownership or investment
interest in the provider, or whose immediate relatives have such an
ownership or investment. The information required to be reported to the
commissioner pursuant to this section to the extent practicable shall be
consistent with the information required pursuant to federal law and
regulations to be reported to the secretary of health and human services
for health care providers providing items or services to beneficiaries
of title XVIII of the federal social security act (medicare). The
commissioner shall consult with the commissioner of social services to
avoid duplication of reporting requirements for health care providers
that participate in the medical assistance program pursuant to title
eleven of article five of the social services law.
