Creates esophageal cancer educational pamphlets and requires esophageal cancer testing and treatments be covered by certain insurance plans

This bill requires New York's health commissioner to create plain-language educational pamphlets about esophageal cancer symptoms, risk factors, detection methods, and treatment options. It mandates that healthcare providers discuss these pamphlets with patients at risk (e.g., those with family history) or newly diagnosed with esophageal cancer. The bill also amends insurance laws to require certain health insurance plans to cover esophageal cancer screening and treatment without cost-sharing (like copays or deductibles). These provisions apply to hospital, surgical, and medical care policies issued in New York. The pamphlets must be available by January 1, 2026.
