Requires health insurance plans to provide coverage for continuous blood glucose monitors for all children
This bill requires all health insurance plans in New York to cover continuous blood glucose monitors (like Dexcom devices) and related diabetes management supplies for **all children** diagnosed with diabetes or other sugar disorders, as prescribed by a doctor. It mandates coverage for equipment including monitors, test strips, insulin pumps, and diabetes self-management education (such as dietary guidance and treatment training). The law applies to all insurance policies covering physician services or major medical care, regardless of the child's age. Coverage must include medically necessary items listed by the state health department and education provided by certified professionals, limited to specific medically necessary circumstances.
