S T A T E O F N E W Y O R K ________________________________________________________________________ 6146 2019-2020 Regular Sessions I N A S S E M B L Y February 28, 2019 ___________ Introduced by M. of A. BARRETT, CAHILL, BUCHWALD, DiPIETRO, LUPARDO, OTIS, WOERNER, ZEBROWSKI -- read once and referred to the Committee on Insurance 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: Section 1. The legislature hereby finds that the increasing number of Lyme disease and tick-borne related diseases in New York state high- lights the need to examine the current status of the adequacy of insur- ance coverage related to this health epidemic. Lyme disease is one of several tick-borne diseases which result in extreme and long term fatigue, nausea, depression, joint pain and many other severe symptoms. Lyme disease is the most common vector-borne illness in the United States, and New York is one of 14 states that account for 95% of cases in the United States. According to the New York state department of health, over 20,000 cases of Lyme disease were diagnosed between years 2012 to 2014. While sufferers of these tick-borne diseases require long term treatment, health insurance companies have denied services related to necessary medical treatment. § 2. The superintendent of the department of financial services, in consultation with the commissioner of the department of health, shall review the adequacy of insurance coverage for the treatment of Lyme disease and other tick-borne related diseases and make recommendations regarding any coverage limitations that may be found. Such review shall include but not be limited to: (a) the present state of insurance coverage for the treatment of Lyme 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.
