Bill > A01065

This bill amends the insurance law to require coverage of early intervention services, which are services provided to children with developmental delays or disabilities under the state's early intervention program. The key provisions include: (1) prohibiting insurance policies from excluding coverage for early intervention services; (2) requiring that an individualized family services plan be deemed to meet any precertification, preauthorization, or medical necessity requirements imposed by the insurer; (3) establishing that payment for early intervention services covered by the policy must be at the rates set by the health commissioner; and (4) prohibiting insurers from denying payment based on the location of services, the duration of the child's condition, or the provider not being in-network.
