N.Y. Insurance Law § 5506: Procedures

§ 5506. Procedures. (a) Any licensed physician, dentist, podiatrist,

certified nurse-midwife, certified registered nurse anesthetist or

hospital is entitled to apply to the association for coverage pursuant

charge for such service shall be a service fee as limited by the plan of

operation and in compliance with the procedure established in

subsections (c) and (d) of section two thousand one hundred nineteen of

this chapter.

(b) A policy shall be issued when the association determines that the

applicant is duly licensed and receives the premium or the portion

prescribed in the plan of operation.
