This bill requires health insurance providers in New York to comprehensively cover diagnosis and treatment of uterine fibroids (also known as leiomyomas or myomas) and related medical conditions, including pain, discomfort, and infertility. The bill mandates that insurers cover a wide range of diagnostic and treatment procedures such as pelvic exams, ultrasounds, lab tests, magnetic resonance imaging, hysterosonography, medication, noninvasive procedures, uterine artery embolization, radiofrequency ablation, various types of myomectomy (laparoscopic, robotic, hysteroscopic, abdominal), endometrial ablation, hysterectomy, and any other treatments recommended by a licensed New York healthcare provider. The bill applies to individual accident and health insurance policies, group or blanket policies, and medical expense indemnity, hospital service, and health service corporations.
