S 7114 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Relates to requiring insurance coverage for epinephrine auto-injectors

This bill requires health insurance plans in the state to cover epinephrine auto-injectors, which are devices used to treat life-threatening allergic reactions. It mandates that insurers provide coverage for at least two medically necessary devices per person, ensuring that the total out-of-pocket cost for these items does not exceed $100 annually. The law applies to various types of insurance policies, including major medical plans and group policies, while also accounting for specific federal rules regarding health savings accounts. The changes are set to take effect on January 1, 2026, for all policies issued or renewed on or after that date.
