Bill > S02626

This bill establishes a health care disparities data collection system in New York. The bill requires health insurers and healthcare facilities to provide data on their patients/subscribers disaggregated by race, ethnicity, sex, primary language, disability status, and sexual orientation. The Department of Health will compile and publish this data on a public website to enable consumers to make informed healthcare choices and policymakers to address disparities. The bill also gives the Superintendent of Financial Services enforcement authority over violations by insurance entities.
