Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the insurance law, in relation to including image-guided biopsies under certain insurance coverage for breast cancer screening
AI Summary
This bill amends New York's insurance law to ensure that image-guided breast biopsies are covered by insurance when recommended by a physician and align with nationally recognized clinical practice guidelines for breast cancer detection, meaning evidence-based guidelines developed by independent organizations with transparent processes. This change applies to insurance policies and contracts issued, renewed, modified, altered, or amended on or after January 1, 2027, expanding coverage beyond just screening and diagnostic imaging like mammograms and ultrasounds to include this more advanced biopsy procedure.
