                STATE OF NEW YORK

                               2017-2018 Regular Sessions
 
                   IN ASSEMBLY
 
                                    February 3, 2017
                                       ___________
 
        Introduced  by  M. of A. BARRETT, CAHILL, BUCHWALD, DiPIETRO, LUPARDO --
          read once and referred to the  Committee  on  Insurance  --  committee
          discharged, bill amended, ordered reprinted as amended and recommitted
          to said committee
 
        AN  ACT  directing the department of financial services, in consultation
          with the commissioner of the department of health, to study and report
          upon the adequacy of insurance coverage  for  the  treatment  of  Lyme
          disease and other tick-borne related diseases
 
          The  People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
        bly, do enact as follows:
 
     1    Section 1. 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. Lyme disease is one of
     5  several tick-borne diseases  which  result  in  extreme  and  long  term
     6  fatigue,  nausea, depression, joint pain and many other severe symptoms.
     7  Lyme disease is the most  common  vector-borne  illness  in  the  United
     8  States,  and  New York is one of 14 states that account for 95% of cases
     9  in the United States. 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.
                                                                   LBD04853-02-7

        A. 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.
