New York S01737 requires health insurance coverage for craniofacial disorders.
New York S01737 amends the insurance law to mandate that health insurance policies providing coverage for physician services or major medical insurance must also cover diagnosis and treatment for musculoskeletal disorders affecting bones or joints in the face, neck, or head. This includes both surgical and nonsurgical procedures, provided they are medically necessary and prescribed by a physician or dentist. The bill specifies that this coverage should be equivalent to that provided for other musculoskeletal disorders in the body.
