Bill > A07310

This bill mandates that health insurance policies in New York provide coverage for diagnostic testing for ovarian cancer for women aged 40 and over who have one or more female relatives with a prior history of ovarian cancer. Specifically, the bill requires insurers to cover a comprehensive set of diagnostic tests including a pelvic examination, a sonogram, a CA 125 blood test, and related laboratory and diagnostic services when prescribed by a healthcare provider authorized under New York education law. The coverage can be subject to annual deductibles and coinsurance determined appropriate by the state superintendent and consistent with other policy benefits. The bill amends multiple sections of the New York insurance law to apply this requirement to various types of health insurance policies, including individual and group policies, hospital service corporations, medical expense indemnity corporations, and health service corporations. The legislation will take effect on the first day of January following its passage and will apply to all insurance policies issued, renewed, altered, or modified on or after that date.
