New York Health Plan Provider Networks for Q2 2019

Health.data.ny.gov provides Institutional Provider Network Data detailing health facilities and service providers participating in various health plan networks. The dataset covers the second quarter of 2019, from April through June. It is collected by the New York State Department of Health from Medicaid, Commercial, and Exchange plans.

Use Cases

• Analyze geographic provider density by mapping facilities using Latitude, Town/City, and Servicing County 2 columns.
• Compare network participation across plan types (e.g., Medicaid, Commercial) using indicators like Medicaid Provider Indicator and Commercial Non-MCO Medical Indicator 1.
• Identify facilities offering specific ancillary services by filtering on Service 11, Service 12, or Service 14 columns.
• Model the association between a Plan Name and the types of services (Service 7, Service 16) available in its network.

Strengths

• Contains geospatial coordinates (Latitude) for mapping analysis.
• Includes over 25 columns detailing plan types, service types, and program indicators.

• Sample size (row count) is unknown, limiting statistical reliability assessments.
• Data is from a single quarter (Q2 2019) and may be temporally stale for current analysis.
