Requires insurance companies to reimburse all health care practitioners at the same rate for cervical cytology screening, including the preparation.

New York S06523 amends the insurance law, the social services law, and the public health law to ensure insurance companies reimburse all health care practitioners at the same rate for cervical cytology screening, including the preparation of a Pap smear. It also prohibits health care practitioners from refusing to provide a Pap smear during a regular annual checkup if the patient has not had a Pap smear done in the preceding twelve months. This act aims to standardize reimbursement rates and ensure consistent access to cervical cytology screening.
