AI Summary

This bill amends the New York insurance law to require health insurance policies that provide medical, major medical, or similar comprehensive coverage to include coverage for prosthetic devices, including repairs and replacements, that are intended for medically necessary rehabilitative and habilitative purposes. The coverage for prosthetic devices is subject to annual deductibles and coinsurance as deemed appropriate by the superintendent, but the amounts cannot be greater than other essential health benefits covered by the policy.
