This bill requires insurance companies, health maintenance organizations, and other health insurers in New York to provide written informational resources to insureds or enrollees within 60 days of being notified of their Alzheimer's disease diagnosis. The resources must be delivered by postal mail unless the individual consents to electronic notification. These resources must include up-to-date, evidence-based, and culturally appropriate written information about Alzheimer's disease, developed by medical experts, genetics organizations, disability experts, and patient advocacy groups. The information should cover the range of physical, developmental, educational, and psychosocial outcomes for individuals living with Alzheimer's disease. Additionally, the resources must include contact information for support organizations specializing in Alzheimer's disease assistance, such as the Alzheimer's Association. The goal of the bill is to ensure that individuals recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease receive comprehensive, accessible information and support resources immediately after their diagnosis.
