NuHealth, the public benefit corporation that runs Nassau University Medical Center, owes New York State more than $93.3 million in health care premiums for its employees, a significant jump from February, when the balance was $66.4 million.

The state Department of Civil Service administers insurance through the New York State Health Insurance Program (NYSHIP) for 4,400 NuHealth employees and retirees. Earlier this year, the department warned enrollees’ coverage could be canceled if the corporation did not begin to make the late payments, documents show.

NuHealth operates NUMC, the county's only public hospital, as well as satellite health clinics and the A. Holly Patterson Extended Care Facility in Uniondale. The public benefit corporation has struggled to keep up with monthly premium bills to the state health insurance program, which covers more than 1.2 million state and local government employees, retirees and family members.

J. Marc Hannibal, special counsel for the state civil service department, alerted NuHealth to the $93.3 million in arrears in a May 29 letter. Hannibal urged the corporation to agree to a payment plan for the overdue balance.

Under the terms of the proposed payment plan, NuHealth would make a $15 million down payment by July 1 on the overdue balance, and monthly payments of at least $3.55 million for 24 months, beginning July 25.

NuHealth also would have to keep up with its regular monthly payments, according to a draft agreement supplied by the civil service department.

If any of the payments are not made on time, the department “is empowered to place the corporation in default and terminate the corporation’s NYSHIP coverage …,” according to the proposal.

“This situation is untenable and must be resolved,” Hannibal said in his May 29 letter.
