Relates to requiring insurers participating in the NY state of health marketplace to offer at least one dental plan for individuals age 65 and older
This bill requires insurance companies selling plans through New York's state health marketplace to provide at least one dental plan option for people aged 65 and older. The rule applies specifically to insurers offering Silver and Gold level health plans and mandates that the dental coverage be approved by the state's financial services department. The legislation includes a provision allowing the marketplace to ask insurers to offer additional benefit levels in the future. This change would directly impact seniors enrolled in state-subsidized health insurance who currently may not have access to dental coverage.
