The New York Health Plan Association developed a news bulletin on the subject of ovarian cancer to help inform New York providers and patients about the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The bulletin provides an overview of the signs and symptoms of the disease, information about genetic testing, and a summary of an HPA survey of health plans about their policies and practices related to the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer. The newsletter was distributed to more than 10,000 providers in New York.
