New York S08352 requires insurance companies to cover outpatient problem gambling services.

New York S08352 amends the insurance law to require that every policy providing medical, major medical, or similar comprehensive-type coverage must include outpatient coverage for the diagnosis and treatment of substance use disorder, including detoxification, rehabilitation, and problem gambling services. The bill ensures that financial requirements and treatment limitations for outpatient substance use disorder benefits cannot be more restrictive than those applied to substantially all medical and surgical benefits.
