The legislature hereby finds that the increasing number of 2 Lyme disease and tick-borne related diseases in New York state high- 3 lights the need to examine the current status of the adequacy of insur- 4 ance coverage related to this health epidemic.

According to the New York state department of 10 health, over 20,000 cases of Lyme disease were diagnosed between years 11 2012 to 2014. While sufferers of these tick-borne diseases require long 12 term treatment, health insurance companies have denied services related 13 to necessary medical treatment. 14 § 2. The superintendent of the department of financial services, in 15 consultation with the commissioner of the department of health, shall 16 review the adequacy of insurance coverage for the treatment of Lyme 17 disease and other tick-borne related diseases and make recommendations 18 regarding any coverage limitations that may be found. Such review shall 19 include but not be limited to: 20 (a) the present state of insurance coverage for the treatment of Lyme 21 disease and other tick-borne related diseases within New York state; EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [] is old law to be omitted. LBD04853-02-7A. 4863--A 2 1 (b) prevailing reasons for the denial of insurance coverage for the 2 treatment of Lyme disease and other tick-borne related diseases; 3 (c) the number of insureds in need of long term care of Lyme disease 4 and other tick-borne related diseases; 5 (d) the number of uninsured persons in need of long term care of Lyme 6 disease and other tick-borne related diseases; 7 (e) coverage required by other states for treatment for long term and 8 chronic Lyme disease in other states; 9 (f) specific medical conditions related to Lyme disease and other 10 tick-borne related diseases; and 11 (g) recommendations to ensure that there is adequate coverage for Lyme 12 disease, including long term care of Lyme disease, and other tick-borne 13 related diseases within New York state. 14 § 3. Within one hundred twenty days of the effective date of this act, 15 the superintendent of financial services shall submit a report to the 16 governor, temporary president of the senate and speaker of the assembly 17 of the department's findings, conclusions, and recommendations. 18 § 4. This act shall take effect immediately.
