Bill > S08592

This bill requires health insurance plans in New York to cover continuous blood glucose monitors for all children, regardless of age, and expands coverage for glucose monitoring devices and related supplies to include individuals with "other sugar disorders" in addition to diabetes. This means that insurance policies providing medical coverage, including physician services and major medical coverage, must now include these devices and supplies if prescribed by a healthcare provider, and this coverage applies to all ages. The bill also mandates coverage for diabetes self-management education and dietary counseling, which can be provided in various settings and by different certified professionals, and clarifies that this coverage applies to policies issued, renewed, amended, modified, or altered on or after the law takes effect, which is 90 days after it becomes law.
