New York S05556 prohibits insurance policies from excluding coverage based on gender indication on claim forms.

New York S05556 amends the insurance law to ensure that policies and contracts do not exclude coverage for medical services based on the gender indicated on a claim form. This includes situations where the gender indicated differs from the insured's sex assigned at birth or gender otherwise recorded, or when the insured is not of the gender to whom a service is provided. The bill allows insurers to take reasonable steps to verify eligibility and review claims for fraud or clinical appropriateness.
