S 5842 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Requires insurers to provide information on resources for insureds or enrollees recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease

This bill requires health insurers and health plans in New York to send written informational resources to individuals recently diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease within 60 days of learning of the diagnosis. It directly affects insureds and enrollees with new Alzheimer's diagnoses, mandating that the materials include evidence-based, culturally appropriate information about the disease and contact details for support organizations like the Alzheimer's Association. Insurers must deliver these resources by mail unless the individual consents to electronic delivery. The bill aims to ensure timely access to accurate disease information and support services without adding new requirements for healthcare providers.
