With about 20 million residents, New York is priced at the county level: attendant-care, home health, and skilled-nursing rates are surveyed from providers serving the evaluee's own community, and physician and therapy follow-up is priced where the evaluee can realistically obtain it. Where a needed specialty or rehabilitation facility is not available locally, the plan budgets travel to the nearest center that offers it and documents the provider behind every rate.

New York's Supreme Court is the primary trial-level forum for the personal injury and medical malpractice claims these plans support. Workers' compensation claims, where the plan is offered on future medical exposure, are administered by the New York State Workers' Compensation Board. Final state-court appeals run to the Court of Appeals. New York is served by 4 federal district courts.
