Relates to the scheduling of certain providers through the directory

This bill amends New York's insurance law to require health insurance directories to display two specific details about providers: whether they accept new patients and their nearest appointment availability. It mandates that insurers provide this information through a system allowing patients or their representatives to schedule appointments directly via the directory. The change would affect health insurance companies (which must update their directories) and patients (who gain clearer access to provider availability). The law would take effect 90 days after enactment, but it is currently pending in the Insurance Committee.
