AN ACT to amend the insurance law, in relation to permitting pregnant
women to enroll in health insurance during a special enrollment period
without penalty
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Subparagraph (B) of paragraph 4 of subsection (b) of
section 4328 of the insurance law, as amended by chapter 11 of the laws
of 2016, is amended to read as follows:
(B) In addition to the enrollment periods required in subparagraph (A)
of this paragraph, an individual enrollee direct payment contract
offered pursuant to this section shall allow for the enrollment of a
pregnant individual. Such individual may enroll at any time after a
health care professional licensed pursuant to title eight of the educa-
tion law and acting within the scope of his or her practice certifies
that the individual is pregnant. SUCH HEALTH INSURANCE POLICY OR
CONTRACT SHALL NOT IMPOSE A FEE OR OTHER PENALTY FOR SPECIAL ENROLLMENT
OF THE PREGNANT INDIVIDUAL. Upon enrollment, coverage shall be effec-
tive as of the first day of the month in which the health care profes-
sional certifies that the individual is pregnant, unless the individual
elects to have coverage effective on the first day of the month follow-
ing the date that the individual received certification of the pregnan-
cy.
§ 2. This act shall take effect on the first of January next succeed-
ing the date on which it shall have become a law and shall apply to all
policies or contracts issued, renewed, modified, altered or amended on
or after such effective date. Effective immediately, the addition,
amendment and/or repeal of any rule or regulation necessary for the
implementation of this act on its effective date are authorized to be
made and completed on or before such effective date.
