S 5047 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Provides for offering reward or incentive programs

S 5047 allows health insurers and certain corporations to offer reward programs for wellness, preventative care, and health management initiatives to policyholders. The bill permits incentives like discounts or cash rewards, but caps total annual value at $600 per insured member. It also permits insurers to adjust premiums to reflect commission costs within ranges filed with regulators, without violating existing anti-inducement rules. This applies specifically to accident and health insurance policies, not life insurance, and excludes certain community-rated policies. The law aims to support health-focused programs while maintaining clear financial limits for insurers.
