Relates to the age of persons enrolled in certain large group policies who receive annual mammograms

Summary

The bill amends New York’s insurance law so that large group health policies must pay for mammogram screening. Women aged 35‑39 receive a baseline mammogram and, with a physician’s recommendation, an annual mammogram if the insurer deems it medically necessary; women 40 and older receive an annual mammogram automatically. It also mandates coverage for women of any age who have had breast cancer or a first‑degree relative with breast cancer, and for other breast imaging that follows nationally recognized clinical guidelines.
