Requires API to facilitate patient and provider access to health information for enrollees and contract providers

Summary

The bill adds a new section to the state insurance law that obligates any health insurance company authorized in New York to set up and maintain several application programming interfaces (APIs) for the benefit of enrollees and contracted providers. It also lets the state department require additional APIs for provider access and prior‑authorization support if federal CMS rules are issued. The goal is to make health‑insurance information more accessible and improve continuity of care.
