BILL NUMBER:S7499
TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the civil service law, in relation to transparency in health
insurance claims data for public employers participating in the New York
state health insurance program
PURPOSE:
To provide public employers participating in NYSHIP information about
relating to benefits, claims and premium payments on quarterly basis.
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1: Requires the Department of Financial Services to disclose
to all employers participating in NYSHIP information on a quarterly
basis relating to that employer's utilization of benefits, claims,
premium payments. Including, but not limited to claims paid by the
month, broken out by medical and pharmacy, and a separate listing of
claims over $50,000 with diagnosis information.
Section 2: Establishes the effective date.

timely, meaningful claims information about their own claims and
experience, even if they request it. This makes it difficult for them
