New York S04850 allows breast cancer screenings under insurance plans for individuals with a second-degree relative who had breast cancer.

New York S04850 amends the insurance law to include second-degree relatives in the criteria for breast cancer screenings to be covered by insurance plans.

The changes apply to all policies and contracts issued, renewed, modified, altered, or amended after the act takes effect.
