Bill > A2116

This bill mandates that health insurance carriers, including hospital, medical, and health service corporations, health maintenance organizations (HMOs), and state and school employee health plans, must provide coverage for screening for Alzheimer's disease and related disorders for individuals aged 65 and older. "Alzheimer's disease and related disorders" is defined as forms of dementia that significantly impair intellectual abilities, affecting social or occupational functioning. This coverage requirement applies to new or renewed insurance contracts and policies issued or approved after the bill's effective date, ensuring that these screenings are covered to the same extent as other medical conditions.
