Dear AAP Member:
I am writing to inform you that if you are having
trouble receiving payment for immunization services you provided from any of the
New York City based Health Plans we have some help for you.
The American Academy of Pediatrics, District II
is working closely with the New York City Department of Health and Mental
Hygiene (NYC DOHMH) to ensure that Pediatricians are paid fairly for
immunization services provided to the city’s children and adolescents.
The NYC DOHMH has agreed to intercede on your behalf on any rejected
immunization related claim with any New York City based health insurance plan.
The NYC DOHMH is asking for you to forward hard
copies of your rejected immunization claims to the AAP District II office so
they can be compiled, categorized and sent to the NYC DOHMH for mediation on
your behalf.
The staff of the NYC DOHMH has assured us that
they will do everything in their power to resolve any dispute as soon as
possible and will reply to us within two weeks of receiving the complaint.
The District applauds and thanks the NYC DOHMH
for acting on behalf of our members and patients.
PLEASE MAIL COPIES OF ALL REJECTED NYC IMMUNIZATION CLAIMS TO:
AAP District II
420 Lakeville Road
Room 244
Lake Success, NY 11042
OR FAX THEM TO: 1-516-326-0316.
Sincerely,
George M. Dunkel

Do
Immunizations Reduce the Risk for SIDS? A Meta-analysis
(M.M.T. Vennemanna, , , M. Höffgenb, T. Bajanowskic, H.-W. Hensed and E.A.
Mitchelle. Received 15 November 2006; revised 29 January 2007;
accepted 27 February 2007.)
Abstract
Background -- There are claims that immunizations cause sudden infant
death syndrome (SIDS), but some studies have found either no association or that
they are associated with a reduced risk of SIDS.
Results -- The summary odds ratio (OR) in the univariate analysis
suggested that immunizations were protective, but the presence of heterogeneity
makes it difficult to combine these studies. The summary OR for the studies
reporting multivariate ORs was 0.54 (95% CI = 0.39-0.76) with no evidence of
heterogeneity.
Conclusions -- Immunizations are associated with a halving
of the risk of SIDS. There are
biological reasons why this association may be causal, but other factors, such
as the healthy vaccinee effect, may be important. Immunizations should be part
of the SIDS prevention campaigns.
