608 - Payment for Independent Dispute Resolution Entity.

  608.  Payment  for  independent  dispute resolution entity. (a) For
  disputes involving an insured, when the independent  dispute  resolution
  entity  determines the health care plan's payment is reasonable, payment
  for the dispute resolution process shall be the  responsibility  of  the
  non-participating  physician.  When  the  independent dispute resolution
  entity determines the non-participating physician's fee  is  reasonable,
  payment  for  the dispute resolution process shall be the responsibility
  of the health care plan. When a good faith negotiation directed  by  the
  independent  dispute  resolution  entity  pursuant  to paragraph four of
  subsection (a) of section six hundred five of this article, or paragraph
  six of subsection (a) of section  six  hundred  seven  of  this  article
  results   in   a   settlement   between   the   health   care  plan  and
  non-participating   physician,   the   health   care   plan   and    the
  non-participating  physician  shall evenly divide and share the prorated
  cost for dispute resolution.
(b) For disputes involving a patient that is not an insured, when  the
  independent  dispute resolution entity determines the physician's fee is
  reasonable, payment for the dispute  resolution  process  shall  be  the
  responsibility  of the patient unless payment for the dispute resolution
  process would pose a hardship to the patient. The  superintendent  shall
  promulgate  a regulation to determine payment for the dispute resolution
  process in cases of hardship. When the  independent  dispute  resolution
  entity  determines  the physician's fee is unreasonable, payment for the
  dispute resolution process shall be the responsibility of the physician.
