FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: St. John’s Riverside in Yonkers sues MVP Health Care over Medicaid payments
PRESS RELEASE: St. John’s Riverside Hospital has sued MVP Health Care, claiming that the insurance company is making partial payments for Medicaid services.
YONKERS: St. John's Riverside Hospital Said MVP Health Care owes $428,277 for missed payments last year.
The lawsuit also names Hudson Health Plan, the company that struck the Medicaid deal with St. John’s in 2014. MVP acquired Hudson, the complaint states, and has assumed responsibility for Medicaid payments for the past two years.
St. John’s sees patients at three locations: Andrus Pavilion in Yonkers; ParkCare Pavilion in Yonkers; and Dobbs Ferry Pavilion.
The Medicaid program covers inpatient services, such as coronary care, surgeries and medicines, and outpatient services such as rehabilitation.
St. John’s said the agreement requires MVP to cover services for its Medicaid members at 100 percent of the state-established rate.
The rate is adjusted from time to time and applied retroactively to patients who were discharged before the new rate was published.
Last year, New York changed the Medicaid rates twice, but MVP, St. John’s claims, arbitrarily paid some of the bills but not others.
MVP has steadfastly refused to make any additional payments
The dispute comes at a time when St. John’s is struggling financially. In 2015, for instance, it lost nearly $7.4 million on $242.6 million in revenue, according to its nonprofit tax form.
Recently, St. John’s has been looking for a partnership with a larger health care network.
St. John’s is represented by attorneys Michael J. Keane and Colleen M. Tarpey, of the Garfunkel Wild law firm in Great Neck.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Gutsiness and Grace In #Yonkers Coming-Of-Age Novel
PRESS RELEASE: Author #PatriciaVaccarino drew on her own experiences growing up in New York to create this multifaceted coming-of-age novel, “Yonkers Yonkers!”
YONKERS BOOK: So let’s go back in time to 1969, when Yonkers was a tough, working-class city, rife with racial tensions, whispered-about mob associations and a hippie culture that had overrun the local gem of a park in order to turn on, tune in and drop out.
Twelve-year-old Concetta Mary Bernadette Colangelo — she goes by the nickname Cookie — is the elder daughter in a dysfunctional family of four.
Growing up in Yonkers is hardly idyllic to begin with, and when this novel opens, Cookie has recently endured an incident so traumatic that she has sealed it off in her memory.
Whenever details try to resurface, she suppresses any inclination to revisit the incident with a steely mental admonishment to Stop.
But the event has had an undeniable impact on Cookie. “She felt like she had a sunburn all over her heart, and if anyone touched her feelings, she would get stung, hurt to the quick, and maybe even die.”
Overnight, Cookie goes from being a good girl to a tough-as-nails adolescent.
And so it follows that when she hears about something called Woodstock, she decides she needs to see it for herself.
She commandeers her ex-best friend’s big brother, who has just turned 16, to take her upstate.
Woodstock may have seemed like a mud-splattered bacchanal to conventional America, but Cookie emerges unimpressed.
She deals with weirder stuff back in Yonkers on a regular basis: a mother who swings from giddy highs to deranged lows, a father who rants with Italian machismo on the nights he bothers to come home at all, neighbors who habitually feud with one another and, at school, nuns who terrorize their students.
And so, absent the rudder of a stable domestic life, Cookie undertakes to create a new identity for herself — hippie chick? gangster? writer? — while navigating a place and an era that roil with racial strife, political discontent and sexual harassment.
All of this plays out against a psychedelic rock-and-roll soundtrack.
Cookie’s hero is Canned Heat’s “Blind Owl” Alan Wilson, and his drug overdose death in 1970, followed in quick succession by the passing of Jimi Hendrix and then Janis Joplin, also color Cookie’s coming of age.
But there are good things, even redemptive moments, that happen in her life, too.
She violates implicit color lines when she becomes friends with a black boy named Herman.
And she finds reliable refuge in the local library, a place that practices tolerance atypical of the surrounding neighborhood, and that contains a multiplicity of possibilities in the stories that line its shelves.
“Yonkers Yonkers!” is curse, lament, taunt and, ultimately, whoop.
Patricia Vaccarino writes with zest and in teeming detail. She seems to have trouble bringing this book to a close, but that’s understandable.
This is a mesmerizing tale of a girl with gumption.

NEWS 12: Firefighters work to tear down abandoned building in Yonkers
YONKERS - Eight people are homeless and a main thoroughfare is closed for one block after Yonkers city officials decided to tear down an abandoned two-story apartment.
The moves comes immediately after it was discovered that the structure at 205 Ashburton Ave. was about to collapse.
Yonkers Assistant Fire Chief Edward Cucolo said as the wind began to blow, parts of the building started to shake.
Yonkers firefighters say neighbors had called to report flying pieces of metal from the two-story apartment building.
Officials said it was so close to collapsing that they decided to take down the building immediately.
Crews worked into the night to dismantle it, causing police to shut down the busy avenue for hours and evacuate four adults and four children next door.
The one-block closure also left nearby businesses like Cabana Bar and Restaurant worried about customer traffic.
The Red Cross is working to relocate the two families as the weather turned colder and windier.
Officials say they hope to have the building completely down by Monday morning and the evacuated families back inside their home.

NEWS 12 >>> Yonkers PBA: Budget is 'devastating' to police department
YONKERS - Yonkers Mayor #MikeSpano’s 2019 budget proposal is not sitting well with the police department.
The new $1.15 billion budget revealed Friday calls to slash some 200 city jobs – the heftiest cuts coming from the force.
“We've already eliminated every foot post and shrunk down every specialized unit down to a number that's already unsustainable. So honestly, I don't know what they plan on doing,” said Yonkers PBA President Keith Olson.
The budget proposal calls to cut 55 police officers and demote 17 sergeants. Police say cuts to the department will lead directly to a rise in crime.
“Crime will go up in every aspect. If people call the police, it will take longer for us to get there. There will be less cops on patrol to catch people in the act of doing crimes,” said Keith Olson.
“There will be less people to investigate those crimes. In every aspect of policing, we'll be devastated.”
The City Council’s deadline to pass the budget is June 1.
